Is it possible to infuse over car body filler

I have made a mold I used alloy as the plug and the gel coat has come away from the alloy

Its to big to put gelcoat in so im thinking filler

The part wont be seen as most of it is under the car

Obviously don't want to make the mold again

So is this possible ?????

on one of my moulds I got some wrinkles in a very visual area (front bonnet) and I repaired these with filler, I then easy leased like mad and the part came out perfect.

Yes some of the filler did come out of the mould when it was pulled but these cane off with a fingernail and the finish on the part was perfect... I've since made a second part and I just filled the small areas were the filler came out with wax and this was just as good.

If you only planning to make one part from the mould (and occasional replacements) Id just repair it and accept you will need to do remedial work after each pull... if you planning to make loads then its a new mould.
