Vaseline and alum. foil

Weather,another quick and dirty trick for a release is to apply petroleum jelly to the integration area of the cars body,then 'adhere' aluminum foil to the jellied area using a firm bristle paint brush.Over the foil you can do a direct wet layup right onto your existing mods with no fear of any resin getting on the Vibe itself or sticking.
A plastic spreader can be used to part the mods from jellied area and after the jelly is removed you have a gap-free glove-fit part.
Some felt is nice to use in between when installing and if there is any vibration at the joint it will prevent chafing of the finish.
