This project was the first one i ever did.  The moulds were made a few years ago:



I tried it wetlay and infusion and couldnt get either to work properly.

So instead i moved onto pre-preg. It was sooo much easier to lay up the part:

I am well happy with the finish! just a little sanding for smooth edges and it will be ready to fit!
