Hi all

I am new to mould making at home and to this site

I have a Uni-Mould kit from Easy Composites and have made a pattern for a kit car scoop using my original scoop from the car see picture attached

I would really like any tips / advice you may have on how to prep / release the pattern before making the mould

I have read instructions sheets and watch videos BUT would welcome any contributions as you cannot beat the experience of other people that have started out the same way

For example I have a block of filleting wax to use where there might be some under cuts but do i put this on before or after releasing the pattern

Thanks in advance for any helping a newbie

Regards
Ian

I usually release/wax a mould first and then add any yellow wax filling or fillets etc.

You can also wipe over the wax fillet material with your paste wax too but really carefully, even just wipe over the yellow wax with your paste wax finger and this will just clean up the surface a bit smoother. 

If this is your first mouldings you might even consider to spray PVA too for extra safety?
