Using the existing moulds I try and start poring with the resin I have. It has a 5 minute pot life so in theory I should have loads of time to get as many bubbles out as I can. This is the engine exhaust

This is the front sensor arrays

This is the engine turkey feathers

Disaster as the resin is brittle and the engine exhaust parts breaks up as I try and remove it from the mould

Sensor arrays look good

Not bad but demould time is half a day.
