Progress on the plug for the mold. Used balsa so I could easily create a curve to flow with the headliner shape. Have no fear, this all gets cut out after the mold is made.

Sprayed some red paint just to help with seeing air bubbles while laminating. Not using any gel coat here -- it's just a splash mold, so not really necessary in my opinion.
