Step 2Positioning and Drawing a Waterline
Now that you have a good fit in your well sanded stand - adjust your plug until you have an excellent waterline. If there were an order of critical steps - this is the second most critical. You can use towels and bits of foam etc. as shims.
Once you have a satisfactory waterline, mark it with a pencil. This way, the second half will be perfectly aligned too.
I know you won't like this... But... Remove the plug and apply a paste wax to one the side to be molded. It is VERY important that you do this outside of the stand - we want bondo to bond to the stand, but no the mold. So at this time, do not wax the stand. Please, don't cut corners here - it will be worth it in the end.
Replace the plug in the stand, shimming to achieve the correct waterline.
