What parts do you make ?

What parts do you make ?Fairing for my bike.
+x K.C.C - 12/27/2019 10:18:17 AMTooling seems to work fine ?I'm making 4 little moulds today again with 1 layer gelcoat pc nice belly from your bike what bike is it ? also noticed to put down the gelcoat I get better results using this type of brushThats why I changed to 2 layers gelcoat I wanted first to put down a fine layer with these more stif brushes especially in the sharp corners of the split moulds .I always did this with the unimould gelcoat so I can get the split corners airbubble free and afte rthat a second layer with a normal brush. But I now see my 3 moulds I made of high temp epoxy tooling with 1 layer having some minor air bubbles but no delaminating or my 4 moulds now with 2 layers no airbubbles but delaminating gelcoat so 1 layer it wil bee I think . will take some pics later
