Here is what the parts look like. The oven was set at the values from the curing data sheet. im using thin mould from tooling gelcoat and epoxy/fiberglass. The tempsensor was laying on the mould itself. should i try increasing more heat at the soak from 4 hours at 70 degrees?

Ignoring the bridging which is an issue in its own right, was the tooling gelcoat and mould all fully postcured and suitable for a 120C cure? How many layers of pre-preg were used? The mould is used before with other prepregs. The layers i used on this one were 1x210 and 1x420. The previous results were way better. Edited 7 Years Ago by Thomb
