Hi I have been building things from glass fiber for years and carbon more recently. And finally got round to joining this forum - Hello all. I wonder if anyone can offer some advice? Having been given a mould by a friend I am trying to make some carbon parts. The size of the part is approximate 20 - 10cm and is an internal car door escutcheon.  I originally though I could infuse the part but it is too small and fiddly for that (the problem I was having was holding all the reinforcement in place while i make it). So I was thinking a hand layup and then vac bagging - but then most of the time that would result in pinholes in the surface and possibly bridging from the non flexible nature of the peel-ply. How have others approached similar problems? 

Many thanks in advance  

Chris
