If so....and if there wasn't an added support frame bridge built on the mold backside, its possible your mold is heat cycling and warping as you make parts.

Either that, or you need to add less MEKP % to let the parts fully cure in the mold before de-molding.

Best bet is to post cure the part while still in the mold with heat lamps overnight. THEN de-mold .

Hi Vinny,

Sounds like you've worked with composites before. Two of the moulds were made using polyester resin and 10+ layers of fiberglass cloth. It's very strong and fully cured so I hope it's not distorting. I'll check them against the original plug.

I've switched to epoxy resin since so there's no need for MKEP catalyst or any issues related to it.

I give it a few days for the parts to cure before removing it from the moulds. I'll see if it needs to set in the mould for longer.

Thanks for the tips

Steve

Is it possible to ship to the UK and if so how much??
I haven't been able to find a shipping company that can ship the lip at a reasonable cost. Shipping through UPS or Fedex to the UK cost more than the lip itself.

Let me know if there's a shipping company with reasonable rates if you know of one.

Thanks.
