Hey guys. Just finished up this mold for a friend. The plan is to make a cf splitter with a divinicel core.

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:

As I understand it, ordinary laminating resin is too thin to achieve a good bond gap. The 150 looks like it would be fine.
