Pretty cool!!! Here is a link to the making of the mold for a record blue marlin. A lot of work.

The cast looks detailed and well made but I must admit I think the paint job leaves something to be desired....

Minimal safety equipment around the bottom of the chin. Bless these people for they not know what their dealing with. is there any other reason for the highest per capita incidence of brain cancer in north carolina. Its called resins.

pretty sure that mount was made in florida. i know a lot of people in the boat building business here in north carolina and i haven't heard much about brain cancer. i would recommend wearing a mask when sanding. just like the guys in the pics are doing.

Within the statistic of north east is a sub-statistic which better shows a higher incidence. I don't see any one with protection other then around the chin which from my perspective is not a vital organ. how about the guy with the paint, or the guy with the gel coat and resin.

Read the MSDS for yourself. Just a shame.
