I have made my first part using CG50 gelcoat, but it delamimate, so I wonder if it´s possible to spray epoxy resin in the mould instead off CG50, let it cure till it´s tacky, add reinforcement and then infuse?

Best regards

Yeh you can, but laminating resins don't have much thixo in them so they tend to run and pool quite badly, and will also separate very badly if you're using a high slip release agent. 

You also only have a small window to get the thing infused once it has tacked. So if you can't get it all bagged quickly or you have a leak that takes hours to find then you may have delamination issues as well.
