This is the mold and wiping gage that I will use in my experimental attempt to wipe up a coaming for my kayak in about half an hour from now. The picture isn't too clear what the coaming will look like, but the outside is rounded as you see the wiping gage is and the inside has a 1/2" radiused inset for the skirt to set in. Also there is a 1/4" lip that will seat down over the 1/4" strip thickness of the cockpit opening to dress it up. The mold will be greased with crisco for release. The whole thing will be wiped with two part body plastic which sets very quikly and then the coaming must be put around the cockpit opening very quicly while it is still somewhat plyable. There is probably less then a 50% chance this will work.
