Hi guys...I want to transition to prepreg and I'm trying to my head around some things before I invest...I'm not 100% sure prepreg will work in my very complex multi part mold so minimizing investment until I've got some confidence would be good.
...Big question is will I be able to get a decent indication of potential using XC110 in an oven that wanders either idea of setpoint by about 5 degrees?
...Another challenge is that the layup includes an already formed dry carbon panel on one of the mold parts, will the XC110 have enough resin to adhhere to that panel?

I cannot comment on the temperature questions, I have no experience with the XC110 system.

In general i would have said that complex parts with multi part moulds is really the sweet spot for prepregs tho. If you want to bond to a core or to another cured panel, then I'd recommend using an additional resin film.
