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

Hi All

Just a quick update have just made and broken out my first mould and must say am very happy with the results see photos test 1 & 3.

I was worried that it would stick & never come apart again loosing my original scoop but followed instructions / advice given me on here and came apart so easy with an excellent finish and shine for main component area, apart from flanges .

Only one little bridge / loss of gelcoat say about 60 to 70mm long on a edge (might try and fill) as shown in photo test 2

Thanks again for help

Regards

Ian
