Any recommendations for methods to bond the Honeycomb to the prepreg before curing the prepreg. So far Film Adhesive from JDlincoln.com, and Hexcel.com sound good. But you have to cure them and cool them before you cure the prepreg. So, is it possible to get film adhesive with the same curing cycle as the prepreg. so you can autoclave and vacuum bag once. Because autoclaving cost money? I dont wanna do it 2 times.

If you get film adhesive which is made of the same resin as your prepreg you can cure both at the same time.

Talk to someone at Loctite Aerospace. They should be able to recommend a Hysol film adhesive that will work. They can probably give you some for cheap/free if you ask nicely.
