I've made some parts that were under vacuum and cured for 24h. They were then post cured in the moulds for 8 hours at 60 deg C. I've pulled them, trimmed them and lacquered them and I've found a slight movement in the moulding. Its a scoop and its 'opened out on its edges. Any ideas whats caused it and how I can stop it? I can flex the moulding back to how it should be to bond the grilles in (about 4-5mm out) but I'd like to be able to stop it in the future.

Yeah, guilty of number 2. I used a 200g layer for a pretty finish then 2x600g layers to make it nice and rigid. Other than that I've been good. All carbon, EL2 resin, under vac for 24h etc etc. Luckily it wasn't too much movement and I've recovered it. I'll get some final pics in the gallery at some point but here it is. This is trimmed and cleaned. Its a side scoop for a VX220 air intake.
