Camber Mold Tip and Tail Redo

I’ve been waiting for some new materials to come in, bases, edges, top sheet etc. so I decided to redo my tip and tail blocks as chrismp suggested in the meantime, as well as made them sit taller to allow a piece of 5.5mm underlayment go between them, on which the aluminum cassette will sit. I realize that I will need to replace the underlayment for various mold lengths but it’s cheap material and easy to work with, I think it’ll help smooth out the aluminum on ribs a lot under pressure. Also I’m thinking about covering the tip and tail blocks with some spare aluminum or something to stop epoxy from getting between them if it does drip over the end like last time.

I got my veneer layer in, went with some gray dyed oak veneer. Might try to do some type of graphic too, undecided there on how to approach that. Gonna be a green base so maybe some green stripes or lettering/clip art on rice paper? Anyway, here’s some pics:
