Multipiece infusion mold?

I have looked around and excuse me if I missed it but I am looking for information on infusing a multipiece mold. I have extensive experience with infusion on single piece molds but I got a project put in front of me that is a lip for a vehicle and the angles to get a good weave are near impossible to do it in a single mold. Is this possible or am I best to infuse the 2 pieces separate and attach the 2 pieces together?  EDIT :  Sorry I just noticed this should be in mold making and don't know how to remove this and just repost in the right section.

Its exactly the same really, you just need to seal the flanges. Lots of different ways to do that, from tacky tape to automotive silicone liquid gasket. Or you can just envelope bag the entire thing, which is often the easiest solution.
