Group: Forum Members Posts: 9, Visits: 46	ive been attempting to make a mould. I got the part and cleaned it up, gave it 3 or 4 coats of #8 release wax. I also gave a few coats got the surface that the plug was sitting on. I gave it a good coat of tooling gelcoat, bit thick in places but a good coverage all over. I taped up any holes where i didnt want gelcoat or resin going. I let that pretty much go off, so there was still a little bit of tackiness left. And starting laying. About 2 layers thick but up to 4 maybe 5 and intricate areas. I let it all dry and attempt to demould. As you can see from the picture, didnt go too well. Once i did get it removed i attempted to put the part back in but it wouldnt fit Mould seemed smaller than part. Any ideas? Attachments image.jpeg (348 views, 1.00 MB)

Also, 3-4 coats of wax is lean. I would be going 8-10.
