Hi all,

I have just purchased my first kits from easy composites. Thanks guys for the training videos, they are very simple to understand.

In making my first part I have experienced a couple of issue and would like to understand where I went wrong.

1.  I used MDF to make my mould, I apply several coats of wax and PVA release agent but could not release the MDF part from the mould, what did I do wrong, did I need to spray the MDF part first?

2.  I had some issues with moulding my carbon part due to the tight spaces and complexity of the part, would I be better off using the vacum method for this part?

Many thanks,




Matt

Hmm, thats rather irritating.  Does your MDF plug have parralel sides in its centre recess?  You really need a slight angle to get a good release?  The other Q I have is how many coats of easylease / wax did you use?  Whilst its a difficult part to make I'd have thought you'd have got it out OK.
