Hi all,

Im still having some problems with the xpreg in gelcoat moulds. When i use aluminium moulds all is good. When i use the high temp gelcoat moulds i always get a dry finish on the mould side. I tried some longer times and diffrent temperatures but i keep getting these results. I only use breather underneath the mould but that always worked for me and only the bag where it it packed in to press on the carbon. Does anyone have a clue what could be it or what i can try?

How did you post cure the mould before putting it into service? And has the mould lost its surface finish at all, or only the components you make from it?

Would the surface finish affect resin flow.if the surface is Matt finish or satin how would that affect resin flow.

post cure done just like datasheet, mould is still the same after each release, its just the carbon that is dry and full of pinholes. and always with the 160 high temp epoxy moulding stuff.
