I would say you never waxed it. It sticks like shit to a blanket when you don't want it to but when you do it will fall off unless you prepare the surface...good fun aint it

If taking a splash mould then wax 3 or 4 times and pva if not sure on the surface.

If repairing then badger the surface with gritty paper to key it then wipe with acetone to remove the wax present in resin/gel coat.

Yea, alright so I forgot to wax it !!!
I knew last night, when I see the wax sitting on the table.
I was just hoping it would be alright...


Second time round it's all OK.




Now comes the interesting bit, doing the modd...

May I ask, why are you widening it??

Is it a special extra wide chassis?

Cheers

Dude,
Cut the scuttle in the middle then clamp it to your chassis, place yer splash mould on top and by whatever means you can clamp the two halves together then carefully flip it on its side and glass it up....jd as they say. Once cured pull splash mould off and have a go with some filler...
