Hey guys, just new to the forum however have recently been making a few different moulds (not yet pulled any parts but they all look good and nice and shinny).
I have however reached a bit of a problem when trying to make a mould for an engine component from a k20 Honda engine. My problem is the lines in the original part (see the attached pictures) there are three lines which go across and i don't wont them on my finished part, i have tried filling them with the filleting wax but you can still tell they were there on the mould. Also i just put some filleting wax in the holes which secure the part to the car, is this the done thing? i obviously will be drilling them out on the final part when i pull it from the mould so not much of an issue.
Anyway thanks for reading any help would be appreciated

The fixing recesses will almost certainly have been made separately and then bonded on afterwards. (...
