    Interesting you should post this.

    At this very moment, am constructing a mold involving some very complex
    compound curves.

    Framed in some 1x4 timbers to get a basic shape, then used some cans of
    Dow Chemical "Great Stuff", poly foam in an aerosol can, to close the
    gaps between the timbers.

    Used a surf form plane to knock off the high spots, followed by some
    plaster of paris to fill the voids and duct tape to establish the final
    surface.

    Once that is done, a couple of coats of "oops" paint from Home Depot (
    $1/quart stuff) to seal everything followed by liberal coatings of mold
    release.

    Then it's time to get serious and lay some glass.

    There are no problems, only varying degrees of challenging opportunity.
