I know somone who has an autoclave that size
this was just vac infused, might do the next one with prepreg to see how much of a difference it makes.

An autoclave that will fit an entire car body in???
Remember to debulk after every 2 to 3 ply's with prepreg. Personally I hate it as a process, VARTM is much better but you have to invest in good tooling to make it work. Therefore prepreg works out cheaper in the long run for motorsport stuff.

me i just follow instructions, off to bristol next week (thats where our composites company is) and going to the airbus composite development facility, the autoclave they have you could park a coach in im looking to get all my moulds sorted and see how the first batch of pannels come out, i want to use them without any paint finnish so need to be 100% . the ones i have would be ok if you wanted to paint them but that would spoil the effect.

((Painting them would not be a issue for me mine are all cracked ))
so are my moulds, lots of crazing although we did rub 90% if it out with 1200 wet N dry. for me these need to be 100% out of the mould so i dont need to paint them ( i dont do nice painwork) any sub standard ones will be available to the highert bidder (offer me beer and burgers )
