Hi Guys.
Just got a big package from EC, so time to get my hands dirty.

I want to start with this part





I figured the best would do to use the uni-mold system.
I have a plexiglass piece which im planning to use as the work surface.

Then im planning to cut some propylene sheet and use plasticine around the front part
Also since im using twaron and carbon im thinking about filling the profile with plasticine.. but on second thoughts that may not be neccessary



Does this look ok?
Im going to resin infuse it

Any other recommendations?

For a first go that's not bad at all. With any new mould you probably have to allow for the first couple of pieces to be less than perfect, as you iron out the particular requirements of the lay-up

I'd certainly recommend using the Easylease release agent and being very generous with the number of applications on a new mould.
