I am about to bladder mould a part within closed moulds and was thinking that this may try push a bunch of resin out through the clamped flanges and just be messy?? Hopefully not?
The flanges are just flat and have some location bumps.
Does anyone have a clever temp trick for sealing my flanges?
It's a wet layup epoxy job.
Maybe just a bead of epoxy glue in within the flange would be thick enough to stop any flow? Or maybe an automotive gasket goo?
