Hi everyone,
So I've just finished my new tutorial and thought it would be helpful to share it with all of you on here.
It's a full lenght tutorial on how to work with the prepreg of EasyComposites.
Feel free to add some remarks, tips & tricks

Cool... I use the same bag to debulk smaller parts and they work well and I have used the same bag 5 or 6 times now and it is still perfectly fine. I dont even use bagging tape.. It does need the pump left on to keep a good vacuum but I leave the pump on anyway..
I do a few things a little differently with my lay up and I do run over onto the flange with the surface layer and run narrow strips of peel ply under the carbon on the flange to help get the air off the surface but then even my small parts are larger than yours. The one thing you do which I never do is allow the mould to cool before de-moulding. I always de-mould hot as I have seen moulds where the gel coat has crazed on the surface due to the mould cooling and contracting round the carbon due to the differences in expansion.
