I'm thinking the best way is to vacuum infuse it in two separate parts: 1) part 1 would be the visible, cosmetic layer using 3 layers of 2x2 twill. 2) Then I would tear the peel ply off and lay the divinycel down with another 3 layers of 2x2 twill on the underside. 3) then vacuum infuse the second layer with the divinicel sandwiched between. Do you all foresee any problems with this method? Here is the splitter and mold: I added some relief tabs so I could insert a wedge to pry out the spliiter: Gelcoat: Edited 11 Years Ago by BlackNDecker

Can use a proper epoxy adhesive, or just use add enough fumed silica to your laminating resin to make a nice thick paste. Clever thinking with the relief tabs, I like it. How did you make the plug for the splitter, just mdf?
