Hi:

Hey Sergio,

I've heard on here somwhere that somebody have used RTV silicone for this sort of job, I think the idea is that you would make your split mould then fill it solid with silicone. then remove this from the mould after it has cured and wrap it with carbon (I bet the carbon fibre braided sleeve would be great for your job) when you clamp this into the mould you put it into an oven and the silicone expands with heat putting pressure on the laminate. For an inflatable bladder you could use a latex bike inner tube... you would need to cap the ends though, and make sure your mould was tough otherwise it'd go bang in a big way!

Hi,

babolat uses prepreg carbon in an aluminum halved mold. they roll the precise layers of prepreg into this mold and then they pressurize the mold to push the carbon out into the mold. then they send it into the oven. the raquets come out precise every time. i'm not sure you can improve this engineeing, but if you have any ideas, i'd sure like to see them. 

Hey guys,
