Hi there,
Having a little issue to make a cover, a real part to a steering wheel center.
Considering that the mould will be to another part, I need do have extra 2mm max on the original part, so that the mould can be correct to create the cover.
Skinning used to be an option, but I really want the best finish possible.
Is there any material to cover the part, do increase volume enough without causing any trouble with the gelcoat/epoxy?
Thanks in advance guys!

you could cover the piece in wax sheet, it comes in varying thicknesses.
i'm guessing you want to make a part to fit onto the original steering wheel trim
