its a kit for making a mould of whatever it is that you want before you start carbon fibering.i used to work for world of qb carbon and made carbon fiber and fiber glass race and road motorbike parts all day,every day.il find you a decent link on how to make a really good,strong piece when I get some time at the weekend.whatever you do,wear overalls or something because it gets annoying when you keep getting bits of the carbon stuck in your arms and fingers and it takes ages to get it back out like I used to keep doing.
 
Bee's wax and plenty of coats....if you don't wax your shell enough the resin will stick to it and you may not get them apart...

only problem is if you need to paint the shell once you are finished it needs to be cleaned and degreased so many times to get rid of the bee's wax...

wax/silicone is a painters nightmare...
