Yeh if you mould straight off the tank then anything you make will be too small to fit over the top. 

You need to simulate thickness. The best and easiest way to do this is with a product called sheet wax. You can buy it in various specific thicknesses, and it has an adhesive on one side so you can stick it to whatever you are making, and then mould off that. Very simple, very effective. 






Sweet, wish i found this out sooner..



thanks for the reply Smile

How do you go about making carbon covers? Im looking at making a cover for my mx fuel tank.

Do i just mould the top half of my tank? If i do this surly the part will be to small to go over the tank?
