It is a nice part. And a nice mold.

I've got a couple questions about your process. The first one may be a dumb one. Do you buff out the mold release wax, or leave a thick coating like in the picture? Judging by the gloss finish on the part, I'm guessing you buff it out.

And what's your layup schedule? I see a lot of mat, but I can't make out if you're also using cloth or roving.

The reason I ask is that some of my layups have probably been heavier than they needed to be. It would be a good benchmark to know what kind of layup you're using for a non-structural part like this.

Thanks,
Dave
