Group: Forum Members Posts: 300, Visits: 2.2K	Most of my original moulds have the 90degree flange as I made them face down on a glass table, but I have recently moved to the more upright flange maybe not completely upright maybe 120-140degree but I do find it helps conformance issues around the edges. I don't put the spiral tube all the way round, I like to have an input and output spiral with a break so that the resin has to pass though the stack without being able to directly escape straight to the output. Depends on the mould really my RC car mould the input is in the middle of the stack with a complete 360 output spiral and two output lines on each end ... Also I alway envelope bag now. No such thing as a stupid question only not asking is stupid David Stevens YouTube: Comment \| Rate \| Subscribe Instagram Composite Projects Body Package for Dax Rush RC Car Touring Body 1/10 Scale
