A bit of background: have a 34 Chevy Town Sedan that is unlike a regular 2dr or any other body style. Needed inside window garnish moldings that seem to be extinct. Made up a set with fiberglass which come out quite good but they don't have the 3/8 lip around the back side that seats against the upholstery. Now for suggestions; I can't glass a lip without something in the concave channel to support the glass till it sets up. Whatever I use it will have to set up hard and smooth and then dissolve in water to remove from the channel. My thought so far is to use a hard candy like peanut brittle without the peanuts. Better ideas are welcome; thanks.
There is a material used in 3d printing...to support structures...it dissolves in water..thats what I've read....
This is a long shot for a answer.... In talking to a guy about his custom fiberglass work he mentioned hard foam, as a plug , and dissolving it with acetone. Seems I read something also about the same technique, but would ask someone in boat building or search the net , Hope this helps ( sorry if it doesn’t ) Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Might there be a pasta that you could use as a temporary support, then soak it in water to soften and peel out of the channel? Second thought; How about "twizzlers"? Might be a bit big, though. Probably firm enough if they're the right size. Third thought; Maybe a tubular type of foam weather barrier from a big-box home improvement store? Roger
