It seems like the highly polished mold just wasn't rough enough (!) for...
Thanks for your great replies guys.
Sjamesp, I took you advice and took the simplest solution first :)
I've managed to solve the resin loss problem by increasing the cure time at a relatively low temperature to get the cure going somewhat, before I then increase the temperature to finish the...
Thanks for your reply,
