Morning,
Metal Brackets (think alternator bracket, rad brackets), can these be done by doing a "squash" mold?
By that I mean buy 2 brackets (they are cheap) wax up, epoxy, layers of carbon, squash the 2 brackets together (in a vice/clamp) and leave to cure?
Or is it always better to make a mould and vac it?
(I can get the brackets for 99p on ebay, so two is £3 delivered, thats alot cheaper than buying epoxy for instance)
