Tomorrow I will finally infuse the 12' canoe I have been working on for years. I'm going to preheat the mold and I want to elevate the temperature some during the curing process.
What is the ideal temperature I should aim for regarding the mold? The resin I am using has a cps of 600 so I think it needs to thin some once it hits the mold.
I also want to elevate the temperature once the infusion has completed. Is there a limit as to what this temperature can be?
Thanks again for offering such a great resource for those with limited knowledge in this area.
Alan

Start from the corner or one end.  That way as you work your way round you can adjust the pleat size to a) ensure you have enough bag for the detail required, and b) ensure you don't get to the end and have loads of bag over the end or need really big pleats at one end to use it up. 

Beyond that there is no set right or wrong as long as you have enough bagging material to get properly into all the recesses and depth of the mould.
