Hi all first post here so hope i'm not posting in the wrong section, i've got a part i want to take a mould of to make carbon fibre copies of it. As you can see it's quite an awkward shape, how would you lot take a mould? 2 piece split mould if so would you go down the middle?

Hanaldo is speaking as someone with expert knowledge and a lot of skill in mould making, forgive me mate

but

if you have limited experience of plugs and moulds you will find it hard to do as one, get the edge angles right and it will work but wrong and that thing will be locked, you may find it easier to split it down the middle.
