Well I want to make a hood, I don't think to many of my customers care about what the bottom looks like too much. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas where I could just reinforce the hood with something universal?
Instead of making the 2 molds I'd like to just make the top and figure out a way to make the other side without another giant mold.
