3 Section Sea Kayak ( Resin Infusion ) ?

Hello Guys,

I have made a 3 section sea kayak male mould from timber. ( Bow - Cockpit - Stern ) and have sealed the timber with polyester resin.

My question is. Is it possible to resin infuse a male mould as the outer part of the mould will be the interior of the kayak and the outer part of the kayak will have the vacuum bagging on it. Will the outer be a total mess or can this be overcome by skinning. I was going to use black Diolen 2/2 twill fabric with 2mm Lantor Soric. Any body have any ideas.

I have several molds for kayaks if you need any pictures of them, normally its a deck mold, hull mold and a cockpit mold.
