Remamber to make the bag a little larger than the size it has to inflate to to make sure the mould takes all the load and the bag is just a seal.


I've done this on a smaller scale (1" OD) but used Latex tubing as the inflation medium. It's inexpensive, inflates easily, stretches a TON, the pneumatic fittings are very cheap, and epoxy doesn't stick (very well) to the latex tubing.
