Why not use the pan as the top section of the mold?

Ed. I only have the one pan for the seat on the current ongoing skunk project. So if i had a spare pan that would work with the release agent and all id have to mold is the surface of the seat itself. As it looks now the easiest thing to do is make the fiberglass mold of the pan and clamp the two together like he did in the video.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

I read that saran wrap makes a suitable wrapper for the part to be molded into a form. Painters wrap is self adhesive and strips of that might work also, there's a pourable foam that is used to make molds for injection molding parts, the guy at FB-stuff.com makes Honda sidecovers that way. He got a good pair of 76 Super Sport sidecovers to make a mold from on a friday, and monday morning he had them for sale. It's a part time gig or he would likely be making them for everything.Comment

Yes plastic wrap or green tape to cover the part being molded. WD40 as the release agent then start laying on the fiberglass. Ill make a top foam mold and a pan mold. Marry them and pour. Mind you this is gonna be an ongoing venture but i will post pics at some point.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
