Great stuff! Any more updates? 

In a big oven, that big black thing behind the mould in the first photo.

good job! Can I ask you how you postcured such big moulds?

Day 8 (cleaned and post cured):

Yea, its what I learnt to do first. Then I did a course at Bristol College with the Composites Gateway and did a couple of infusions and had to do bagging film with rabbit ears and all that, it was almost depressing. I took the idea to prepreg thinking it would save on bagging film, but all it does is take twice as long, its full of leaks and when its sealed, the heat softens the sealing tape and pulls it off the mould, useless. Worst of all, it ends up using ALOT more sealing tape, which is where most of the costs in bagging consumables is.

Besides, you can't really call it a "bag" if you can't put the mould inside it

When youre done, carefully slice one end of the bag and reuse it as a bin liner

Nice to see youre prepping it for envelope bagging. I prefer envelope bagging these days.  So much easier to rule out sources of leaks.

Demoulding time?

I did think about this. My friend has a sign writing business and said the same, that wrapping a car is actually cheaper than respraying it.

Day 7 (trimmed and painted a layer of polyester to protect the vacuum bag):

when you have the final parts are you painting them or vinyl wrapping them? As in tests I've done on racecar bodywork I've found vinyl to be nearly 50% lighter, it's also a lot cheaper than a spray finish.
