I saw many videos about how to using 2 mould to create stuff, usually lay composite on each mould separately, while the problem is when people are doing this, the joint place got no composite connected, they are only glued together, how to strength that part I am wondering, I guess this is a very common questions most people will encounter. Let's discuss it a little bit, how to solve it? if not possible or too hard, how to bypass it? Thanks.

Usually when you are doing a split mould part you either do the first ply net to the edge or you overlap on one side by at least 10mm.
You then stagger the joint either butt joints or overlap to ensure that you don't get the chimney effect and an overall poor laminate.
What part are you looking to make?
