Turned out ok ish for my first attempt but i have a slight issue where small areas of the resin have stuck to the steel mould i have.

Any ideas why this may be / pointers ?. Third picture shows the steel mould where the epoxy has stuck slightly.

I used 4 layers of carbon, wet lay with peel ply, release film, fabric and then vacuum bagged it

Thanks, Pete.
