Hi guys,
Planning for my first project / business Idea so please and yes I know it will be difficult so please don't shoot me down.
I want to make a CF version of the boot spoiler as pictured below, its hollow and probably about 2-3mm thick.
My question is: is there a way to make a 1 piece mold and then use the resin infusion to make the part?
Or
Does is have to be a split mold using prepreg (or resin infusion?)
Thanks guys
If the pics dont work please see
Here

Yeh that's more or less it. It's a lap type joggle joint rather than a tongue and groove type....
