Product Information

TruDesign's range of Mould Plugs for Recessed Skin Fittings are designed to form the recess in a fibreglass hull, which is required for the flush fitment of a given size TruDesign Recessed Skin Fitting. Moulded from Polypropylene, these products are single-use, throwaway items, which significantly reduce the time and complexity traditionally involved with the installation of Recessed Skin Fittings. Now, each recess can be formed in the hull during the fibreglass lay-up, rather than requiring the hull to be CNC machined or manually cut and shaped at each thru-hull position after demoulding.

• Makes a pre-form recess in the lay-up stage of GRP hulls, which fit exactly a TruDesign approved Recessed Skin Fitting - this saves complex machining of bevelled edges in the GRP hull
• Bevelled Edges are now part of the gelcoat, making sure that the integrity of the hull is maintained, minimising wicking down end grain and delamination
• Injection moulded Polypropylene provides a 'waxy' feel to the material, which ensures both non-stick properties and an easy-removal from the hull
• Reversed text size info is embossed on the part, meaning that after removal from the hull, the size of both the required hole saw and the Recessed Skin Fitting, which needs to be used is left imprinted on the fibreglass (reading the correct way)
• A centre drill locator forms an indentation in the centre of the recess - perfect for positioning the centre drill of a hole saw before cutting
• Gluing 'channel' forms a channel directly under the flat face of a Recessed Skin Fitting head for increased contact with the adhesive or sealant
