   Post on How to build an instrument panel mold??? in Technical tasks

   By High Country, posted 14 Mar 2014

   so after taking the last several months off from working on the avid I'm finally back to it again, scheduled to be in paint the first of the month I'm ready to make my instrument panel and am wanting to use carbon fiber but have no experience with anything like it. from what I've read and the videos it looks to be pretty easy but the part i'm still not sure of is the mold. I was hoping to just cut out the shape I want into a piece of wood attach it to another piece of uncut wood for a backing and use it as a mold, will this work or am I looking at problems. do I paint the wood before applying the wax or just put wax the raw wood?
    
   what I'm thinking so far is wood mold- couple coats of wax mold release- PVA - resin - carbon fiber - resin - carbon fiber etc - 4 to 5  coats worth.... does this sound correct? 
    
   hope to be flying by May
