Fred, I never thought about doing it this way, I do it the EasyComposite way (cause I wen to the training sessions BigGrin). So, why not, but I think your method would be difficult for a mould which is not square-shaped (if I well understood your way). In my case unfortunately, the flanges have not been made rectangular (not a good idea, for sure, as it makes all things more difficult). Bu I'll think about it. Thank you Fred.

Warren, you're right, the modl is small, I should try it like you say, maybe with a piece of breather below the mold (to avoid scratching the bag).

But, you're not answering the question about the pleats ;-p  What if it's a big mold ? Smile


Actually it works on any shaped mold just as easy as your mold. If you search John Burns making a carbon fiber part on youtube he demonstrates the technic. The moment I saw it I knew I had arrived. I just hate doing it the other way its just so much harder. (But thats just me)
Fred

I've just seen the video Fred, thank you for pointing me toward it. It's really tempting, sure I will give it a try soon !!
Eventually, I will not select the fastest method, instead I'll prioritze the method that decreases the risk of bagging leak ! Smile that's what really causes pain in the ... Blush
