Hi!
I would want some new ideas for a split mould. My last mould was leaking between the flanges. I am going to use resin infusion, so its critical that there is no air leaking. I included a photo of the part. It will be a three part mould. I will make splits above the door. Second photo has one idea I got, that the flanges would have 90 degree angle at the end, so i could put vacuum tape on it. blue and white line are different part of the mould. black line is plug. Top of the blue and white line is the vacuum tape.

Its impossible to vacuum bag the whole part, as its so huge. And I really wouldn't want to hand laminate this.

If you put some break points in the flanges you will have no problem splitting it after.






don't know how clear this shows one but build if using wax same as you make location pegs from wax.
