Hi,
After lots of planning I am about to commit to my project and buy some mould making materials. As you can see from the simple cad, I will be making a 2 part mould, however I intend on using the pattern as an internal mould. So will be applying a layer of sheet wax onto the pattern first.
I have a few questions:
I intend to make the final part out of fibreglass, would a thickness of 1mm, including top coat be enough for a rigid part ?
I will be buying the "Epoxy Mould Making Starter Kit". Is there enough to make moulds of both sides ? The front face length is 280mm
more to follow.
Thanks
