The mold I made was with two part foam in garbage bags developed IN the kayak so that the seat was one big unit that could be bolted to the underside of the coaming in my Express, the wood boats have used 3" minicell. Making the mold required successive fillings, carving away to a generic shape, then sitting in the kayak wearing a wet suit and two pairs of sweat pants on plastic covered wet glass. Thereafter removing and trimming the seat. The whole process filled up a garbage can of trash and took about 12hrs.
