Hi Everyone:

I am a newbee so I suspect this will take many tries. I wish to make a kayak paddle out of carbon fiber that has a foam core - so heres my confusion

I have existing paddle and will make a split fiberglass mold.

OK so I have the mold - I can layup carbon on each side  and leave a "vent " hole at each end for the foam to come out 

NOw i pour the foam on one side close up the mold - I cant vaccum it because all the foam may go into vacuum

I could just clamp i guess but then how does each side of the carbon stick to each other and give me a finished surface
