First, I cleaned them of beautiful Russian roads - dirt, some kind of drops, or bitumen, or something, etc. Since there were no cleaners at hand, elementary, there was not even water, I used this miracle liquid. For which I express my gratitude to Khimsintez))

A glass veil was used for the matrix.

Emulsion glass mat EM300. Compared to powder, it is soft, easily molded and used in the manufacture of products with complex shapes.

Resin from the British company ScottBader, Crystic 491PA (excellent product in all respects) and hardener-catalyst Curox 300.
Note. Always use protective equipment when working with glass-containing materials!

Further, a separating wax warmed up to the operating temperature is applied to the surface, so that subsequently there would be no problems with removing the matrix itself.

Next, the layers of glass mat will go, and the block will be reinforced with matting.
I decided to add gills on the sides to my hand-made bumper. You can, of course, fashion new ones, but without further ado, I removed the matrices from the finished product.

Today I examined in more detail the rapids of Maksovskaya Sylvia, which the valiant "car transporters" managed to use while transporting the car.

yes, the process, in fact, is not complicated, just laborious, especially grinding =)

If the matrix is ​​made with high quality, then grinding may not even be needed. Although if a grinder is at hand, then there is nothing gemorno in this process. Hemorrhoids are different. If you make the part yourself from scratch, this is truly time consuming.
