Ok here is a question, I would like to know if it is possible to lay (4) small molds is a casting box, using the resin infusion process for a parts run, end result (4) parts ready for finishing.

Now take in consideration that everything is done properly, gel coating, bagging, correct amount of resin etc.

could you elaborate please.

Well it would work great, once the process is worked out. I was thinking to use "T" valves with plastic tubing as a bridge before connecting the spiral tube so that I will have minimal loss of resin flowing everywhere. 
I would also have to figure a way to prime the system (branched tubing) in order to get an even flow of resin
to the (4) molds........

The parts that I am thinking about are simple upgrades to exsisting parts also adding some appeal. Both racers and street riders will find them practical, useful and save cost. I am also thinking ahead in case I get overwhelming request for these parts......I will be the first to "RD" them in the real world application...........

When the first one is finished I am going to post a pic, for all to see............Smile Whistling

Here's another question, Why would I have to bag each part individually?

Since all (4) molds will be in a casting box, with the appropriate spacing one to another, how come I cannot use one bag, provided it is bagged so that it will fit in the corners etc...and all of the other neccesary components in place....in theory it  looks like it would work....
