Hi all first post here so hope i'm not posting in the wrong section, i've got a part i want to take a mould of to make carbon fibre copies of it. As you can see it's quite an awkward shape, how would you lot take a mould? 2 piece split mould if so would you go down the middle?

well it's all done and demoulded, not a complete success but i can see where i've gone wrong. If i seen the post above about flaring the flanges out it would of been a complete success. At least i know where i've gone wrong for when i remould it, i'll get some pictures up later if i can.
