Hi everyone. I am new to making parts out of fibreglass and carbon and want to fully understand best methods before diving into various projects. One project I have is I want to make a hoop style spoiler like the ones found on the tailgate of a Toyota supra. There seem to be different methods detailed all over the net but I thought I would ask you guys for the best. Couple of simple questions:
1. Is it best to make it out of foam first then just glass over the foam?
2. Is it best to make two half moulds?
3. If I make it in 2 halves what is the best way to bond them together so it won't split over time,
4. Best way to sink mounting threads in the base of the spoiler?
Thanks!
