Well ive been playing with paper mache again haha,made a mould from the orriginal cowl as i need another for the next hydro i plan building when this ones done.I covered the cowl in packing tape before laying layers of brown paper and water proof wood glue on top,about 5 layers so far.I let it dry then popped it off ,its pretty rigid and strong i could just epoxy coat it and paint after sanding a few rough patches a bit.Or i could use the inside as my mould to lay epoxy and cloth,first id probably seal it with varnish before doing that.That will have to wait till this hydro is done but i think the moulding came out pretty good.
