Bang the carbon in the mould, bang the mould in a bag, vac it down and cook it for a few hours! The smaller stuff I can put in a pressure vessel as
well which makes an easier job of finishing. Unfortunatly this is to big so will need three coats of laquer rather then the usual two.
The other stuff Ive made is here:-

That's one big oven? Is it industrial or DIY????
My bro's being doing experiments with pre-preg using a home brewed oven. Seems to work quite well....

Mould is made from Vinylester and csm, nothing partuclarly special!!!
Carbon is pre-preg, (all of my stuff is), its more expensive then a wet lay system, but lighter, stronger and better to work with. All components are
made with a 2x2 twill face ply of carbon and then backed up with 2 ply's of pre-preg glass. (keeps the cost down!!!!)
Oven is DIY but it is quite big!

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
