Step 1: Roll out enough sculpey to fit your cover and your mold wall.



Step 2: Set your wall (the top half of an oil drain pan) and you cover on the clay.



Step 3: Build up a wall of clay inside the middle of the cover and make sure no silicone can get under the cover. Find something to use as alignment keys in your mold (license plate screw caps here, but acorn nuts work well, or if your base clay layer is thick enough you can just make round dents in your base clay)



Step 4: Cover everything in Mold Release.



Step 5: Weigh out silicone ingredients.



Step 6: Mix and then mix some more.



Step 7: Optional: Degas with vacuum.



Step 8: Pour the silicone in your mold and wait 24hrs.



Step 9: Flip it over and remove clay, mold wall, and alignment keys.



Step 10: Install bottom half of oil pan on mold, it should be a nice tight fit around the top of your mold half; two small leaks have to be patched around the pour spout.

Step 11: Repeat steps 4-8.



Now you have a 10lb block of silicone encasing a priceless NOS aero cover:



Separate the two halfs and remove the aero cover. Done!

Haha cool write-up!

[asianflava]

Nice! What are you going to make the covers out of?

Thank you so much man... I can't tell you how much help you have been in sorting all this out. This is exactly what I had in mind. I wonder if the exact design you use could be modified so you could use a pour spout. Please (if you don't mind) continue the write-up with how you lay in the plastic and what you do for excess when you press the mold together. (this is what I'm trying to avoid with the longer pot-life material and the pour method)

PM me if you want a set.

The pictures at the top of this thread are of a 14" mold. I will start casting some replica's soon. I've been busy, but PM me if you want to order some and I'll get started. All three different sizes are different covers.

Hey, I'm interested in purchasing a set of 14" aero disc reps from you. Do you still have some available? They would be the perfect touch to my cf48 restoration.

[3rd gen sinner]

He hasn't made or sold these in yrs. I missed out by a month or so. They pop up from time to time. Good luck in your search.
