WHO HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH 2 PART BLADDER MOLDS?
I made a 2 part bladder mold/tool to make sq carbon tubes. inch 1/2 X inch 1/2. Have made a sample 14" long, fg twill and some old epoxy. Turned out great but my tool is 5 and 1/2 feet long. Its a easy cf layup but l need to perfect my bladder/I used a bicycle inner tube & it did not stick but this was short piece.
Made mold of carbon: This may work,

Some one said try 2mm thick vaccum bag for your bladder. But would haf to joint it together somehow and make a tube that would blow up slightly with air.
