I want to make some one off ducts in Carbon, smooth on the inside for airflow. I've made a rough male plug and about to skin it and apply pattern coat primer.
My question, can I infuse straight onto this surface, then just remove the plug/mould from inside (ensuring there's no mechanical lock) or will the primer not tolerate the resin? Seems a waste of materials to make moulds as they'll be fairly big
