Got to work with a little sculpy. Epoxied this guy last night after hours and hours of sanding. Looking ready to mold. What would you guys recommend for molding this guy? I was thinking of suspending the blank for a 2 piece and adding some small vents at the tip of each of the fins. Where would you guys put your pour site for this guy?

How to mold really depends on where you plan on pouring it from?

One thing I will warn you about and would be happy to discuss with you is the tail leading up to the paddle as well as the paddle itself. I sculpted a bunch of these a few years ago and struggled with the consistency I was looking for as I played and varied the paddle tail as well as the thickness, shape, and web from the tail leading up to and connection point to the paddle.

Give me a shout if you'd like to discuss.
Mike
