Hi, got a custom undertray for my tcat that was very popular when I offered it for sale, so decided to see about making a mold and making a few more, How easy is it?
thanks, Grant

vacuuforming is the way, make a perfect mould out of wood and don't overheat the plastic

Sorry, don't know, you need a legal eagle to ask.

Fibreglassing is one of the easiest ways to make money on eBay.
Simply buy your prototype from a respected Co' like Pyramid Plastics or Powerbronze, use that to make a plug & whip off copies whenever you have the spare time.
The t'internet is really usefull for basic advice or beginners guides to fibreglassing, websites like Google & YooToob are full of folk who feel the need to demonstrate their superiority over inferior people by showing how good they are at something that you're not.
IME, you could earn as much as £6ph by competing with all the other obvious rip off plug copies of respected products from respected manufacturers just by selling them on eBay alone, along with all the other 1000's of people who thought up the same 'get rich quick' scheme.
Alternatively, you could go along the same path & use Google + YooToob to give you a basic insight into fibreglassing, then spend a few hours experimenting (rather cheaply if you buy your fibreglass supplies from the right places) with your own 'unique', bespoke design & hope that it is both functional & aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
That way, you might make as much as £6.50ph ! |

I've seen a couple of posts from you lately were just seem to talk down to people, for whatever reason. That's why I'm beginning to think there is a chip on your shoulder, not because you object to the OPs idea. |
If you've ever read the same (definative) books on body language & persona psychology as me, you'll know that on the currently accepted personality spectrum, I am a classic Q1. The 2 main traits in my persona are dominance & aggression, one of the classic byproducts of this type of persona is not sufferring fools gladly.
For this, I could never apologise.
I do indeed talk down to some people, they should be thankfull that I talk to them at all.
I make my living, I put the food on my families table, by using my brain to work out how to make what will sell, I employ very many people, our collective taxes pay for very many more to be idle !
I have a problem with the ops original post, I apologise if my responses don't exactly quantify exactly what that problem is, but then again, if you don't also see a problem, then to me you are a part of the problem also. |
