Noddle Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share #25 Posted June 15, 2011 I have made some progress into making the center light, it turned out pretty good I think. also started on one half of the mould for the inner tail / break light.

Noddle Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share #27 Posted June 17, 2011 I'm one step close to getting my JDM style tail lights, I'll do some more on the inner brake / tail light tomorrow if I get a chance.

Noddle Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share #29 Posted June 18, 2011 A little more progress, the mould martial I used this time is a little more flexible than the stuff I used for the reverse light, so I decided to add a hard backing, made out of resin to stop it from deforming once it's finished. once this drys, I'll work on the other half Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/39647-jdm-style-tail-lights/?page=3#findComment-359073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noddle Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share #31 Posted June 19, 2011 .... so I decided to add a hard backing, made out of resin to stop it from deforming once it's finished.....Small problem, the resin once hardened, shrank about 4mm across, this deformed the RTV mould, it was not sitting flat,I'll make a different backing, and see if that fixes the issue..live and learn...Nigel Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/39647-jdm-style-tail-lights/?page=3#findComment-359151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddle Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share #32 Posted June 21, 2011 A little more progress, don't forget to use a release agent between the two halves, I have some silicon car stuff, it's used to makes plastic shiny. it worked ok on the other mould I made.
