First make a mould that matches your cockpit |
Find a suitable plastic container, free if possible |
|
I get my drums from the tannery |
Cut out the smooth sides |
|
Place on oven tray, Use oven paper if you don't want it to stick |
Place in oven at about 140deg for about 15 min |
|
Welding gloves are a must at this stage |
Remove when plastic is soft all over |
|
Put on flat surface, the kitchen table did fine |
And fold over mould |
|
Making sure the two surfaces weld together |
When cold take off mould |
|
Check the joint |
Trim off excess and rough shape. |
|
Give a sand |
|
|
Any minor shaping can be done with the old paint stripper |
Before fitting check position against the knees |
|
Looks good |
Now what to do with all the experiments. |
