• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Ok I picked these molds up on the way to Oshkosh. They were suppose to be Fairchild 24 shape but are more like what is found on Stearmans and Wacos. Also like what Steve Culp used on his Culp Specials. I decided I really like the larger size. Very retro looking. My problem is the molds, as nice are they are were made with no flange around the perimeter. I don't have much experience with mold making but know that's the best way to keep the mold from "pulling in" or shrinking. Anyway there's a term for it I can't recall my question for you more experienced mold men would be are these molds fixable? What about if I use 4 layers of 7781 fiberglass, do you think I could pull the pieces into shape by using a piece of aluminum clecko'd around the perimeter and cut out the tire area...and glass the inside seam. Then after the inside seam is dry, remove the clecos (I'd dip them in Johnson paste wax, works very well. I've done a lot fiberglassing using that, light coat...wipe excess off so it doesn't contaminate the bond) and apply some filler to make the outside seam area the correct shape. Then lay a piece of fiberglass over the filler and seam so it won't crack. OR should I trash these molds and just buy the ones Wag Aero sells for $335 each ?
