Hi all, 

I am going to attempt my first split mold and am hoping to reproduce the small hatch spoiler from my car. Because of the severe angle that it takes at the edge I know a spilt mold will be necessary I was just hoping for some advice if my split point is going to work.

I am hoping to split the mold along this red line I've added to my picture. I think it will work but it is curved and I think I've only seen spilt molds where people keep the splits very straight. So will it be ok to do this?


Some other pictures from other angles if they will be helpful:





Thanks for your help!

Yiu can split it there all around yes, i would go that way allso
The curve doesnt matter.   But u need to make sure to split it exactly on the widest point.  If not...   youre mould will have in in a vise gripp when u want to release it And will be locked in.
