Plug Finished

The plug was finally finished with all the fences added to create the mould split lines. It then had to be transported 1 mile up the road to the mould shop. To do this das trusty trailer was stripped down to the bare chassis and with the use of jacks, blocks, rollers and a brother-in-law it was loaded on and strapped down.

The large roofing bolts are added on the fences are to create locating plugs in the mould, the mould is laid over the fence and bolt head, the fence is then removed and the next part of the mould is laid up against the GRP, the shape of the bolt heads is built in so you get a locating dimple when you bolt the moulds together.

The plug is still up at the mould shop but should be finished next week, here are some progress shots of the mould being made
