Need Help Making Mold

[AverageJoe]

Lets just say for "kick's" that I suppy all materials, lodging, food & beverage,,,,,,,,,,what would you charge in labor to come do this project.

[the1much]

hehe,,,,,i should give ya my "painting" wages ,,hehe,,,but i would OF charged about 2500 ,,, but that would be just for building the mold,,,to set it up for production the minute i say,,"in 24hrs its time to put it to work",, would be around 5 grand.,,,,and thats my " im old and crippled and slow" price,

[SamSam]

You need to say what size it is and supply some pictures to show how complex it is and what condition the plug is. Do you just want to make a mold and 1 top or are you going to make a bunch of tops?

[the1much]

and to add,,,,,you need someone that can do the work,,,but doesnt actually realize how much $ "his" work is going to make,,or has the "potential to make,,,,hehe

[the1much]

cant be very big,,,, is only a pontoon top,,hehe

[AverageJoe]

It's not really all that big but when you figure 3 and a half sides and a top,,,,it's not exactly a small amount of space. I am a little shy about sending out pics of what this looks like. It has not been through the patent process yet and whoever does the work will have to sign a non-compete of course.

I am wanting to be around $3000 on total labor for a production ready mold. I will supply all materials needed.

[the1much]

is the person your gonna hire gonna be working alone? ,, if so,, they betta be fast hehe,, or its gonna be alot of extra work.

[AverageJoe]

No, there will be plenty of help to roll glass.

[overtimejunkie]

just some dimensions would help, the 3,000 for labor would be doable

[AverageJoe]

It is approx 196 sq feet of space. Three sections of 7 x 7 plus roof. I would supply all materials and the labor to help roll glass under whomevers supervision. I will also provide a hotel, meals, drink, and whatever else necessary to get the job done,,,,,,,within reason of course.

[overtimejunkie]

do you have a chop or gel gun available? where in missouri?

[AverageJoe]

I do have a chop gun and a gel gun available. I live in West Plains, Missouri,,,,south central part of the state.

[overtimejunkie]

what brand guns do you have? glaskraft-MVP? internal or external mix? how many parts are you expecting to make from this mold set?

[the1much]

shouldnt all molds ( except for the 1 time users) be built for an unlimited number of uses?
im not being an idiot,,, its just that i've never seen that asked before ,, does it matter?
and nother nosey ?,,,, the chop gun is just for the first layer right?

[AverageJoe]

To be honest I don't know. I know the chopper is a glasscraft. The gel,,,I have no idea but i can find out. If it is not something that will do a quality job then I'll buy what we need. As far as the mold. I want to be able to make at least 1000 parts so it needs to be a high quality mold.
