this is a question from my son about the fibre glass mould, Could he use a polystyrene mould covered in tin foil then wax it a few times (car wax?) and then use the mould to make a front mudguard thanks Craig

Im no expert in making moulds but not sure if tin foil would be good enough personally i would be make shape of mudguard with polystyrene cover it with skin of bodyfiller then sand any imperfections then make the mould
not sure on using car wax cant see why it wouldnt work but you need to apply a coat of 'release agent' its a blue liquid applied on top of the wax brfore the Gelcoat
