Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum; first I would like to say thank you for easycomposites and talkcomposites for all the tips and ideas you have shared. 

Now, I want to make a mould for this blade. I am not sure where to put the parting line; and if I should make a 2,or 3 part mould. 

Can anyone help?
