This project was the first one i ever did.  The moulds were made a few years ago:



I tried it wetlay and infusion and couldnt get either to work properly.

So instead i moved onto pre-preg. It was sooo much easier to lay up the part:

that was the surface layer.

the next layer was then added:


The whole lot was then put in a vacuum bag ready to be cured:


Once cured they were trimmed:

I am well happy with the finish! just a little sanding for smooth edges and it will be ready to fit!

Oh so thats what they are!

At first I thought they had something to do with Madona!

Is it just me?

This prepreg looks like the way to go.

Prepreg indeed looks like fun to work with Fred,
but is it just me that thinks that the finish isn't looking that well?
A bit of a dull, smokey finish?!
