ok guys i do infusion molds how to get nice overlaping join i mean then? my mirrors mold if from 4 pieces if i connect them i gonna see not nice dark line joined how to avoid that?


You will get some line on any join to be honest. Its a fact of life. It is best to either accept it or try and do something to use the line to your advantage. Like making a V or an obvious change in direction. 

This is out of the mould and not trimmed yet. I have a large join for the whole side of the tank. I cannot match the weave of the top along its whole length so it looks odd at some point. So I change the direction of the weave to make it more attractive to look at.  But I also have to V the top which is a one piece mould section too so it adds work but makes the whole think look more visually attractive. 




Hanaldo you can now see what I mean about the filler cap neck too.. The mould is very thick there so it takes a long time to cool so I have to lift the mould a little to clear the main body then just let it cool to allow it to come up with out damaging that neck area of the mould. With a carbon mould it just slides up nicely hot or cold.
