Drill it with holes every 2-3 cm. Holes only need to be 2 to 3mm diameter.  On the mould contact side, score lightly between the holes too.  This gives channels for the resin to flow under the foam once it has travelled down the hole to the bottom layer.

Even if you did it in stages, youd still have to bond the foam to the cured carbon somehow as its unlikely on the second infusion that the resin would fully flow underneath.

Thank you for your answer !

So I'm looking for 1000 to 2500 holes/ m² plus the channels between the holes. That makes a good couple of hours of work to save 1.2kg/m². I may end up trying to make a nailed plank that I just have to hammer on the foam to speed up the process a little. I just have to see if nail holes are good enough.

I will test that this weekend as I have some foam left from my previous wet lay project.
