I may consider that, but definitely after I finish the rest of this. I would need to tweak my process since it took a ridiculous amount of time doing the CF/Kevlar demold. Basically I had to destroy the foamboard mold by chipping it out with a flathead screwdriver. For some reason my parting wax didn't work well on the foamboard.
The very porous nature of the foamboard probably sucked up some of the mold release wax or the resin itself. I've had good luck covering it with wax paper or tin foil. Wax paper seems to work better as it doesn't want to crinkle as much.

Also, I found a couple online forums that are good to lurk on and read the stickies:

www.fiberglassforums.com and www.racingcomposites.net

Expect a lot of trial and error-- theres lots of little details you only find out about when you try things. I've thrown a lot of failures away. It can be very time consuming.
Ain't that the truth!
