Hello all
This is my first time doing anything related to making moulds and finer glass panels but like everything else I want a steep learning curve and start big.
So my project...
My brother has the new Jaguar f type coupe and I want to create a mould of the car, to use for my kit car/replica project.
Can someone help me out, start from the top and basically outlined the steps I would have to undertake to prep the car and create the mould without damaging the car. I assume i can't do the whole car in one go and lift the mould off and taking the car apart isn't an option either, so whatever I do I have to do on the car.
If i start with with the following steps can you guys help add to it and help me develop a full plan
step 1 - clean the car
-remove contaminants
-remove wax
step 2 -
- Apply release agent to the car
Thats about as far as I've got :/
