I am trying to reproduce a boot spoiler from a hatchback car. The original is made from hard rubber - typical of the 80s I think. As its quite a complex Shape I was thinking of using the original as a plug mould and wrapping it in carbon? This would have the benefit of giving the original some rigidity as they tend to sag over time.
So my question is whether this rubber is suitable as a mould, and if so what treatment (and products) would I need to apply beforehand?
Thanks in advance.
