I removed the mould from the car- not too bad only grabbed in two areas, both places was a result of the gel coat bleeding through a join. There was a little bit of transfer of black paint onto the mould...not sure why that happens. Possibly because the paint was not fully, cured, or the gel coat is not going off fast enough.
All in all the mould will need a little work before use.
I decided the mould could use a little reinforcement. I had an idea I wanted to try out a while back: to use poly pipe as the basis for reinforcement. After putting the mould back on the car, I hot glued the pipe to the guard and then glassed over the lot. I'll see how it goes.
