I've seen them come out of the box brand new with one rounded corner and one square corner and none of the glass looked chipped. almost like they made it that way.



VERY TRUE ... but what happened is the FG company probably stored the mold ON THE TIPS and wrecked the mold themselves. Some are also FAMOUS for grinding the "flash" off of the finished-part IN THE MOLD ...and then THIS reduces the size of the mold ...and every other part that comes out of that mold.

THIS is why all the molds I made had wood or metal bracing that would extend past the mold so it would keep the mold off the floor.

You would be surprised on how many FG companies do NOT do this ...

It makes working on the mold, prepping the mold, the gel-coat-process, roll-out of the main laminate, the bracing process ....sooooo much EZier.

But they can butter-their-bread as they see fit...
