Redneck Outdoor Products is one of the leading manufacturers of hunting blinds and stands in the United States. Widely considered the “Cadillac” of deer blinds, their premium fiberglass shelters feature a marine-grade exterior gel coat and a host of hunter-friendly details inside and out, including full-surround insulation for comfort and noise control.

Blind Building: A Painstaking Process

Since its launch in 2010, Redneck had been using hand lay-up (HLU) molding methods at their manufacturing plant in Lamar, MO. Attention to detail and a dedicated team had allowed them to get the most out of their production process and achieve the high-quality builds that are the hallmark of the Redneck brand. But HLU is time-intensive by nature, posing real limitations on productivity. As demand increased, Redneck began to feel the pain of this ceiling more acutely.

Consider a single fiberglass floor part. With HLU, it has to be hand-molded, requiring the use of a separate flange and leaving behind a measurable amount of resin waste. The part then has to be bonded to plywood, laminated a second time, and finally painted. With demand for their products continuing to grow, the message was clear: it was time to invest in a more efficient production process. 

Enter the Cure: MVP Flex Molding

Redneck was first introduced to the process of Flex Molding through a Closed Mold School demo conducted by Magnum Venus Products (MVP).

Impressed with the concept, Redneck brought the MVP team on site for a 4-day training session in January of 2025. Closed mold expert Charles Tur led the process, beginning with a complete survey of Redneck’s current part production and use of available workshop space.

Starting with a molded floor part, Tur then guided them through construction of a reusable silicone bag. To maximize injection speed and control, the bag features a single injection port and custom-configured collapsible resin channel, leaving no visible marks on the finished part.

MVP then worked with Redneck to optimize the workflow of their molded part production and recapture valuable floor space.

The Results: Exploding the Production Ceiling

By the end of the training session, the capable team at Redneck was injecting floor parts in just six minutes using MVP Patriot Innovator technology. The same Flex Molding solution eliminated multiple fabrication steps – combining molding, bonding, and laminating into a single step that produces ready-to-assemble parts right out of the mold.

As a result of the transition, Redneck was able to reduce production time without sacrificing its hallmark quality. The team is now looking to invest in the MVP Innovator III system to capture even greater automation and efficiencies to keep pace with projected demand.

The Results in Sum:

By making the transition to Flex Molding, Redneck was able to…

  • Reduce part production time and labor
  • Consolidate molding, gelcoat, bonding, and laminating into a single step
  • Eliminate the need for a flange and reduce raw material waste
  • Eliminate the need for trimming
  • Implement reusable molds ready for redeployment immediately after part demolding
  • Dramatically reduce needed workshop floorspace
  • Implement automated controls to ensure part consistency
  • Improve employee health and safety by eliminating open mold emissions
