The Pre-preg guide suggests a cure temperature of 100 degrees C for 8 hrs. So what system can be used for creating a mould when hoping to use pre-preg? Many thanks for your advice on what I recognise is a basic question.

You may find curing at a lower temperature gives a better finish. I use a material that cures best at temperatures below 75 degrees.. It will cure at higher temp but you get pinholes.... You need to cure at the temp which gives you the best results..
