I have experience laying fiberglass in a 2 part silicone mold, but it's always been on a wider/larger object where I can get into the mold once assembled and patch up the seam from the inside. I have a project where I need to create a set of large skinny legs in fiberglass (life size). What is the best way to bond the 2 halves since I have no access to the inside once the 2 halves are assembled?
thank you
Slush/Roto cast resin?
Would you still have the strength along the seam that laying fiber would give you with just resin alone filling in that area?Quote:

My concern is the strength of just resin alone. The legs will be supporting the body and I'm thinking I need fiberglass to make them nice and sturdy.Quote:

You could even fiberglass the two halves, slush them together and expanding foam the middle.
You could also add a roll of fiberglass matt and slushcast the piece and then add a foam core to it.
