Ops I didn't do that (the hood on the car while drying) but I think I'll try that on the others. Just tricky to put it is place at the right time. Basically once it is tacky. I did support my hood as close as I could to its installed shape. Balsa wood is a great idea! And may be easier to work with. Carbon fiber really likes something to adhear to. It doesn't like thin air.

I used 1/2 by 3/4 balsa standing on edge for the front edge of my humps. The humps were weak at the 4 roll bar cut outs.
I did have to notch the balsa some to clear the roll bars.
