Hi all,

Im trying the new XC110 prepregs but i seem to get no nice results at all. with other (cheaper) prepregs i get really nice and smooth surfaces.
Here is what the parts look like. The oven was set at the values from the curing data sheet. im using thin mould from tooling gelcoat and epoxy/fiberglass.
The tempsensor was laying on the mould itself. should i try increasing more heat at the soak from 4 hours at 70 degrees?

Looks like there is a bit of bridging that wont be helping. I would try moving the temperature probe for a start, I've never ever had good results with the probe sitting on the part. 

What tooling gelcoat are you using??
