one off plug/mould

I want to make some one off ducts in Carbon, smooth on the inside for airflow.  I've made a rough male plug and about to skin it and apply pattern coat primer.

My question, can I infuse straight onto this surface, then just remove the plug/mould from inside (ensuring there's no mechanical lock) or will the primer not tolerate the resin?   Seems a waste of materials to make moulds as they'll be fairly big

Brake ducts are essentially a tube though, so it will always need envelope bagging unless you made a split mould. 


yes, envelope bagging or split mould.  I suspect I will need to both depending on the shapes I end up with.

Thanks all
