But I now see my 3 moulds I made of high temp epoxy tooling with 1 layer having some minor air bubbles but no delaminating or my 4 moulds now with 2 layers no airbubbles but delaminating gelcoat so 1 layer it wil bee I think . will take some pics later I use angled fitchs from brewers paint shop stiffer so easier to use.put the tooling mold is in oven again to do final post cure.the mold is a lot thinner in carbon it will be interesting how part will come out.will test Monday.

What parts do you make ?Fairing for my bike.

I tried a difirent methode with this mold ,what might be the problem . I had the 2 layers of gelcoat than cuppling layer gelcoat , a layer of arround 4 mm el160 moulding paste followed with 1 layer woven glass 280G twill and a layer 400Gram twill weave with the el160 laminting resin . I had a unimould split mould in the oven for curing and this didn't move a bit looks great to hold the temp of 125°
