Make you a plaster mold of them. It the future you can use the plaster mold to vacuum for a new set

Or make a mold of the outside from plaster or bondo that you can lay fiberglass into later

In either case, be sure to cover the parts with a releasing compound before making the mold so the mold won't stick to them!

There are commercial compounds available. A lot depends on whether you're using bondo, fiberglass, plaster, etc

But you can often get away with vaseline or even a spray coating of Pam
