Hi,
I made a mould with the Out-of-Autoclave Tooling Prepreg System XT135 following exactly the guide. But after demoulding my piece after the 1st cure (initial cure cycle) I discover that the surface of the mould has some imprefections. It look as there wasn't enough gel coat.
Do you know where these imperfections are coming from?
How can I remouve them?
Thanks in advance

The tooling board shouldn't be causing any problems at that temperature. The board sealer may well fill in the defects but it is not a permanent solution and may in time need re-application. What....
