I know wood isn't the best choice but for me as a student it was the cheapest way... The finish is good but I'm wondering how I have to finish the moulds before filling them with an epoxy to get the plugs out. I'll finish those plugs once again till a high gloss then. The wooden moulds will only be used once to get the plugs. I have some ideas but wondered what your experiences are with those kind of problems. 1. Coat the mould with a Infusion Resin with a brush a few times. 2. Use vinyl wrapping (carwrapping vinyl to seal everything 3. Use a 2K filler spraycan. and sand till high gloss I would prefer choise 3 but I need to have a confirmation telling me it wont react with epoxy after it... I read it a lot its ok to do it that way but just need the confirmation if possible Matthieu Libeert Founder MAT2 Composites X Sports website: www.mat2composites.com
