I'm new and just getting into carbon fiber work. I did my first mold and ended up with little success. My carbon fiber ended up gluing to my mold. This time i put 4 heavy coats of pva release agent to try and avoid this. What I really want to find out is making split moulds. Many of the parts i want to produce carbon fiber copies of have plastic parts on the back. Was thinking of 3d printing these and gluing them on or a split mold of some sort. any advice is welcomed.

Thanks. I found out if you use a heat gun on the plastic part when trying to take it out of the mold it shrinks the plastics and pops right out. Will this work when removing the carbon fiber piece from the mold?
