For out of autoclave use:-
The Uni-mould specifications say it is suitable for pre-pregs up to 90 degrees C.
The Pre-preg guide suggests a cure temperature of 100 degrees C for 8 hrs.
So what system can be used for creating a mould when hoping to use pre-preg?
Many thanks for your advice on what I recognise is a basic question.

Just because you can cure at 100 degrees does not mean you have too... You may find curing at a lower temperature gives a better finish. I use a material that cures best at temperatures below 75 degrees.. It will cure at higher temp but you get pinholes.... You need to cure at the temp which gives you the best results..

What temperature have you found works for you re pinholes?
