Hi Friends, 

I have a question, some of the parts I do need to be produced with more than one mold and then bond.

The doubts are:

- Which glue to use to attach two pieces of carbon fiber?

- What to do for the seam not to be so aesthetically apparent?

I use EasyComposites VM100 Black- VuDuGlu

I would definitely go with the VM100 for carbon to carbon as Steve says.  it is strong, great value, quick and already black so easy to hide the join line.

Thanks Steve and Warren. 

For a two-part mould is it advisable to bonding flange w/ flange and then cut the flange? Or do you have another option for me to generate more contact area to bonding two parts?

Do you mean when making the mould?  Not normally.  You mould on a fabricated flange for part one, demould the flange when ready to make part 2, release coat your mould flange then part 2 gets laid up directly onto the flange of part one.  That way the parts are perfectly fitting and because youve release coated the flange on part one, the 2 mould halves will separate easily.
