The 2 halves of the mould are bolted together and then 2 layers of cloth laid over the join. I think I've cocked up here but will see what happens.

I'll fill the hollow shell with spray can expanding foam. I know there are better products to use that will make a nice chemical bond with the epoxy.
In this case I'm relying on it being encased and having a mechanical bond inside the stock. From my first attempt I found filling the hollow areas with foam makes a world of difference.
