If I had these moulds laying in front of me I would go for infusion to get the best results, or prepreg if you have the infrastructure for that.
for infusion to keep everything in place you can use the fusionFix

don't apply on your mould but drape the first layer and then fix all the edges with some extra fabric and the spray.
Vacuum bagging could work as well but not sure if it will give better results or solve more problems...you might get some problems with bridging and so on

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
