Yes - buck is removed from bonnet (Was always just laid onton)
For "plan with edges", not sure quite what you mean?
To smooth them off when making the mould - parcel tape
When attaching back to the bonnet
going to attach to bonnet using resin and Matting then fill with flowcoat and shape using a (filletting) tool similar to those sold by CFS (looks
like a ball bearing on a stick)

ok you seem to have it sorted
i was just thinking from my minimal experience
make your mould on the bonnet with buck in place on parcel tape and use plaster scene on to fill the lower edges
might save you a bit of time
