I'm stuck on a few design issues. 1: If I make a split mold, I will end up with two seams that I would prefer not to have. 2: If I use a single mold, and wrap the carbon around it, I end up with the inside of the tube with the nice finished surface That will be hidden anyway. To make a cylinder, one piece, with the nice outside finish exposed, how should I make my mold? Im going too buy product's soon, prepreg or infusion??? How would you do it? Thxs for the suggestion's!
