Fred, I never thought about doing it this way, I do it the EasyComposite way (cause I wen to the training sessions
). 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 ?
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

that's what really causes pain in the ...
