When putting a curve in a wooden fiberlass mold, what is the best way to do it. I've been told it is to make a right angle in the wooden mold and then to make a wooden triangular piece in to make the curve. Is this correct? Any suggestions welcomed.

I am not sure if I know what you mean either, but I will try and do a crappy illustration, and see if this is what you mean.
