I'm into recumbents and am exploring building a mold for a prepreg
carbon setup. This looks like an active site for composites.

Can anyone recommend a heater control to adjust the heating/cooling
ramp rate (5 degrees a minute, etc)? I'm obviously trying to keep
costs down so something surplus or homemade would be best.

Also, if I do a pressure bladder inside a female mold how do I apply
the vacuum between the composite and the inner mold line (so that the
bladder inflates)? Or should I just only apply pressure to the bladder
and not try to pull a vacuum on the mold?

Thanks airplane guys.
