Hi guys,

Mick from Cheshire, England. Great forum

Decided to try & fabricate myself some cf parts for my KTM.

After some trial & lots of error I now have a sprocket cover & chain guard curing ( is that the right term ?) in my garage.

Re: mould making....What modelling clay would you recommend ? I got some DAS stuff but it doesnt seem  to "grip" too well.  Also do you guys leave the clay to dry for a while  before trimming off the excess ?.

I have so much to learn !!!!

thanks

Mick

Hi, Mick, and welcome here!

What are you using clay for? Is it to round corners or fill gaps on a model part? Or really build a shape that you want to make a mold of? A bit of details would help us answering you. However, if you want an idea of what many people use for "soft material", you can check this.

To ensure people will see them, you should post your technical questions here.

Hope it helps.
