I am about to vacum bag my first fuselage...my mold has a lip joint and I am required to cut the excess cloth off when the epoxy is cheesy and not hard...I am also required to heat the molds for about 20 minutes...I want help on the following aspects...

Can i apply heat to the mold with vacum on and the bag in place...

As the epoxy I use starts getting cheesy in about 30 minutes...and I am required to cut the excess cloth is it okay to remove the nylon bagging and the bleeder..otherwise how should it be done...

Also..I did come across that a bladder could also be used inside the mold to assist in joining the two fuse halves to ensure that the seam sticks well to the other fuselage half...any help on how it is done would be welcome..

Thanks
