Hi everybody, 

Need some info on laying my reinforcement correctly. 

I am using 2 layers of 200g 2/2 twill cloth and 2 layers of 163g E-glass. 

1) Is it possible to reach all the recesses of the mould using blunt, spatula-like tools with the whole stack on the mould? (very low vac and working gradually?) Can this be done if the top layer is pro-finish carbon?

2) If the above is really not possible without creating any bridges what so ever, can spray tack be used without having a negative effect on the surface of the laminate and the bonding? (I understand EC will be stocking a special spray tack soon, could some info be provided on this)

3) As seen in the picture of the full mould, I will split the reinforcement down the center as this section will be removed later anyway, in order to make the reinforcement more workable. 

4) Alternative methods please, I have seen other carbon body shells in this form so I know it must be possible some how :/

Thanks alot guys.
