Hi Friends, 

I have a question, some of the parts I do need to be produced with more than one mold and then bond.

The doubts are:

- Which glue to use to attach two pieces of carbon fiber?

- What to do for the seam not to be so aesthetically apparent?

Do you mean when making the mould?  Not normally.  You mould on a fabricated flange for part one, demould the flange when ready to make part 2, release coat your mould flange then part 2 gets laid up directly onto the flange of part one.  That way the parts are perfectly fitting and because youve release coated the flange on part one, the 2 mould halves will separate easily.
