Hi everyone,

I am producing carbon fiber parts for sportbikes and currently working on a rear seat cowl. Everythings going great except..I need to fabricate the underside latch where it locks into place. In the photo below its all the black you see.

I am selling the whole part for $75 using 2 part carbon 1 part fiberglass so I am trying to keep the price down as much as possible. Is there anything I can get from Home Depot or Lowes or Advance Auto Parts store?

neither lol, I need to make a new underside all together. I will mould it but dont know what kind of cheap filler I can fill the mold with. It has to be a plastic filler due to expansion and contraction. So in other words I am looking for a cheap but durable plastic filler.
