I am curious what percentage of teams are using male vs. female body molds, and what some nuiances might be working with either. I imagine that the female molds require more work initially (usually made from a male plug mold) but result in a cleaner product with less finishing required.
Are there tricks to using female molds when vacuum bagging fibreglas ?? My experiance has been restricted to male molds, and quite limited at that, but I imagine that it may be more tricky to get the release film / bag materials to conform to the contours of, say, a nose cone. What kind of large polyethelene material (and what kind of sealing technique)can be used to create the 'bag'?
thanks,
