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?

Since its on the underside it will take alot of beating, thats why i was wondering about using EF80
If you look at this picture


The side is in fact rubber on the original item, so it will bend upwards if you hit the road with it.

Now i have tried all evening to figure out one tiny leak.
I had several leaks which i all found by putting my ear into the mould and listen.
But there is at least one more leak which i am unable to find, any suggestions?

This is the setup


Gauge stops here: (closing the pump causes the vacuum to drop)



I actually found one leak that was through the whole mould ?!?


How do i prevent this in the future? more careful when applying the tooling resin?
