So, I have a large split mould that I'm bringing together to finally infuse. I've ran a bead of silicone between the mating flanges to help defend against air ingress. A tiny bit of silicone squeezed out onto the mould surface.
I've cleaned it back with acetone and seek the advice of the group. I know epoxy doesn't like to play well with the other children -will there be an adverse reaction when I come to infuse? This is a complex layup with a lot of layers and I don't want to cause myself issues. Any ideas?
Thanks
Mark
