Hi all, 

I am going to attempt my first split mold and am hoping to reproduce the small hatch spoiler from my car. Because of the severe angle that it takes at the edge I know a spilt mold will be necessary I was just hoping for some advice if my split point is going to work.

I am hoping to split the mold along this red line I've added to my picture. I think it will work but it is curved and I think I've only seen spilt molds where people keep the splits very straight. So will it be ok to do this?


Some other pictures from other angles if they will be helpful:





Thanks for your help!

Jeffrey raises a good point that where ever you split it, ensure that each mould half is not mechanically locked into place. That curved edge looks to be a good place and if careful, the flash line can be on the corner and easily removed and hidden when cleaning up the part.
