Does anyone have experience with low temperature prepreg?

I am using a water-soluble plug material that gets a bit soft at 75c (the lowest I can test at the moment) thought the melting temp is somewhere around 200c. As the solubility of the plug is essential to the design, I am looking into lower temp prepregs. The complexity of the part makes infusion difficult in both the multi-layer layup as well as proper resin coverage under vacuum. 

Thanks

vtc401 from SHD materials cures from 65 degrees in the oven and clave, what material are you using for your soluble mandrel?


Anyone know if the PVA would cause pinhole issues? I'm guessing that I'm going to need to try it to find out as it is an unusual mold material.
