When I was making holds I used white sand picked up at builders supply shop. I also used this fiberglass colorant.

I bought it someplace else at a cheaper price but a little goes a long way. I also found that some powder paint pigment worked well for coloring. Trial and error with the pigment.


I used this stuff to make the molds. It is very expensive but it works great. I would not have used this if I didn't work at Barlow's and got a significant discount. But again...it works great!

As for the slime. I used to put the holds in a bread crate and then power washed the hell out of them.

The only picture I could find fast.


Something to remember. You need to wear a good respirator when sanding fiberglass ( especially with sand / silica in it ) because the particles can get into your lungs and eventually cause lung problems including cancer.


Hope some of this helps.

Jon
