I've bought the uni-mould kit (and resin infusion kit) from EC as I'm wanting to make a mould of a racing car nose cone. There are a few features that make it a little more complicated so I'm a little unsure.
I wondered whether to make split lines down the lower 'fins' that pop down below the nose as that's the main bit of concern.
Thanks for any advice you can give me, I really appreciate it.
