Thought I would share some pics of my first use of the epoxy mould kit from EC. Ive come from a background of motorsport and aerospace using expensive materials and tools so its good to get my hands dirty with something that anybody can pick up and make there own moulds.

Firstly its a comprehensive kit, I went for the big kit as I have a few moulds to make and I was pleased that it comes with all the wax/pva,gelcoat and of course 2 part epoxy paste in a nice and easy to carry tub.

I made some wet lay carbon sheet last week using the good old glass method and as the glass had been released, it would be a shame not to use it for my first mould, which is for my friend as he wants some new mirrors for his super seven but using a nice coloured pre-preg.

The materials are pretty easy to use and the gelcoat is a great colour making it easy to see where you haven't placed any material. Mixing up the epoxy paste was pretty simple and not that messy if you use a plastic bag and the provided gloves.
Looking forward to seeing the results on monday as I done it at work as its always nice and warm

I found it better to put two thinner coats of the tooling coat down, seems less prone to pinhole/ voids at the face.

you need to allow more time working this way as you will need that extra few hours for the second layer.
