Static electricity

Hi All

Does anyone do anything about static electricity in large fibreglass molds?

Thanks in advance

They do make conductive tooling gel coats, this helps some when grounding the molds. Since you said "large molds", if it has a metal frame that needs to be grounded also.

If regular tooling gelcoat is used, are there any reasons for grounding the mold?
