Hi all, 

I have a question regarding making moulds from mdf or oak. I cnc milled 2 moulds, one from MDF and one from oak. Moulds are for bike helmet I want to make.
Can you recommend what final layers should I put on mould? What couloring or something like that?

I already tried to put some colors but mould got ruined because carbon with epoxy resin glued to it.

Please any help and I will be grateful.

Hi all, 

I tried putting epoxy resin on my wood and it didn't look even ( I have round shape of mould so epoxy was always going down), I used cloth rag to spread the resin. I put two layers of epoxy and after first try with only one layer of carbon it didn't stick to mould but after that I tried another one and it stuck. What could be the problem?

Can I maybe use only clearcoat? I can spread it nice and evenly on my surface. Will that be a good surface for this?

Thanks again
