Shawn I used sand and plaster to form my mold this weekend.My mold results were nothing to get excited about, but with my surform in hand I began smoothing and sculpting.Now, two hours into the project I have what resembles a tractor seat form.I'll finish shaping/smoothing the thing today and will begin the layup.If nothing else, this is fun.I'll post my results. Of course now my mind has already shifted to a cold molded lay up of vaneers..... maybe for boat number two if I get that far

good luck darren
