I'm now thinking about how to make the mould, i'm considering making a 2 part split mould as illustrated cross section below, i haven't done this before so please add your comments on how you think it would work out or how i can do it better.

what would be the best material to use for the barriers?

started making the mould now, backing up with CSM and polyester resin.
next step will be to make the second part of the split mould.
using the threaded inserts i built into the first part i'll be able to align and clamp the second part.
