Hi,



After lots of planning I am about to commit to my project and buy some mould making materials. As you can see from the simple cad, I will be making a 2 part mould, however I intend on using the pattern as an internal mould. So will be applying a layer of sheet wax onto the pattern first. 

I have a few questions:

I intend to make the final part out of fibreglass, would a thickness of 1mm, including top coat be enough for a rigid part ?

I will be buying the "Epoxy Mould Making Starter Kit". Is there enough to make moulds of both sides ? The front face length is 280mm

more to follow.

Thanks

Hi I may have misunderstood what you are trying to do but here goes!!!!!

Assuming that the outer lip is just a flange for the mould and not part of the actual duct I don,t understand why you need the sheet wax.
which is the good face, inside or outside of the duct?
If the outside is the "seen" face I would just make a split mould of the "buck" ( I can recommend the EC Uni Mould System)
Lay up the two moulds in CF/GRP.
Bond the two halves together.
Trim off the Flange.
