I want to thank everyone for their kind words and advice. To update where I am at... and lessons learned...
I pulled the piece off tonight... 1.The areas of the mold, that I used duct tape on, the piece still came off... but for whatever reason, the resin melted the tape and caused the resin not to cure in that area. 2. The piece is really not straigt enough.. as I've stated there are slight dips and hills in it because of the mylar 3. I dont know if its the resin I used or what... but the piece is VERY flexable.. about that of cardboard paper,.... and not stiff like I would have thought 4.Round one goes in the trash. Although I might keep it to laminate up foam .. I hate to waste a 100 bucks. Lessons learned. 1. Use a good epoxy .. and not impact polyester resin from the hardware store, you'll have a little better control of the pot life when you mix it. I only had about 15-20 min before the stuff set to the point I couldnt use it. 2. coat the mold with monokote, or the like, and dont try to use 10 mil mylar. it just didnt work. the mylar ended up with slight dips in it that ended up being transfered to the piece. 3. always by twice as much cloth as you think your going to need... because you will end up building the stuff twice. 4. The carbon fiber ribs that I used to ( I thought it would anyway) replace the foam core structure is just as flexable as the rest of the glass 5. pulling bits of 1/2 cured resin out of your arm hairs hurts. well hopefully part doux will be better then this piece. thanks everyone for the information. -Jeff
