Hi Guys.
Just got a big package from EC, so time to get my hands dirty.

I want to start with this part





I figured the best would do to use the uni-mold system.
I have a plexiglass piece which im planning to use as the work surface.

Then im planning to cut some propylene sheet and use plasticine around the front part
Also since im using twaron and carbon im thinking about filling the profile with plasticine.. but on second thoughts that may not be neccessary



Does this look ok?
Im going to resin infuse it

Any other recommendations?

Beeing not as patient as i maybe should, i have just removed the mould.
Since i made it on a sheet of polypropylene which i also had waxed it came of witout any problems.

I made quite a mess, and see several things i could have done better, but i believe with some proper afterwork i can make it usable.
The gelcoat had found its way under on a couple of places, so i needed to cut the mould slightly



So next time ill make sure to be extra careful when adding the plasticine barrier.

Other than that the part came loose pretty easy without any damage.



So now its time for a lot of cutting and sanding before it is twaron infusion time.

Has anyone tried to infuse using the flexible resin? EF80
