You need some way for air and volatile moisture to escape during the cook. If you're worried about excess resin bleed, you can get a P31 or even P6 release film with holes on wider centers. You could also try a quick hot debulk when you debulk your first ply into the mold. Evan a minute of heat gunning with a hair dryer will hive the resin a little flow and may help you get a nicer surface without the pin holes.

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? Hi, did you ever solve this issue?
