    Are you restoring the boat or using it for a mold for fiberglass

    Several of the boat manufacturers in NC use 1/4 inch air fittings at strategic locations in the mold, so when it is ready air pressure helps it "Pop". Also a silicone Release Spray like Dow Corning 316 really helps if the mold is rough or "Stubborn".
    Good luck, I have wanted to do the same thing with a Barbour runabout 14 but never could bring myself to sacrifice one for a mold.
