        Hi, I have the Italeri Elco PT boat and i am looking to reproduce the hull in fibreglass, what i was wondering would the resin attack the original plastic hull and if not would i need a release agent on the the plastic hull. Hope somone can help with this thanks in advance.

          not only would it attack the plastic, but what you are intending to do is highly illegal and a total breach of copyright.
          if you wish to make a grp hull, then please build your own plug, and NOT plagerise someone elses hard and long work hours.

            Hi RobertI was given some really good advice by a company selling fibreglass and resin with all the stuff that goes with it, and they gave me a brilliant method Which was to coat the plug with cantstik waxand to buff iy up to an immaculate shine, having done that, apply another layer of wax and buff that up to a brilliant shine. Repeat this action up to twelve times when you will have a deep deep shine to which, nothing can stick, hence the title Cantstik, it works like a dream for me
