We should have filmed ourselves making pre preg CF bits in my mates Barn back in the mid 90s, using an old electric oven that had been extended with some steel sheet and a Edwards Rotary Vac pump
Best bit to come out of it was a complete CF subframe come seat unit for my mates original Fireblade.

There is no mention of any ovens in the videos

Seems to be the same as fibreglass but no filler can be used
