Making a prepreg carbon front clip for my Lotus Elan. So far so good.



Mould with the reinforcement that caused the problem. I bagged the whole thing. This resulted in a differential pressure between the inner surface and the outer skin under the reinforcement which resulted in the mould sinking under the pressure!

Just remember to mix small batches as the pot life in this weather is likely to be sub 10 minutes, so small batches at a time and you will have around a 2 hour cure time on the resin.

Cheers, Warren.
