Hi, new here.

Only done a couple of simple carbon parts before but have a slightly more ambitious project in mind which I don't know how best to approach. How would you set about making a fairly thick section solid carbon part - think something like HANS device (don't worry I'm not attempting to make my own HANS!).

I understand the principles of vacuum bagging but if you have a split enclosed mould (like an injection mould tool), how would you ensure complete fill, create the pressure and where would you evacuate any excess resin (assuming pre-preg)?

I guess the tool would want to be aluminium and heated so as not to take too long to come up to temp in an oven?

Thanks for your assistance.
