I've been enjoying this 'Wet Hardshell' thread and it got me thinking...

Infusing a sandwich panel in one hit comes out really heavy because the foam takes up loads of resin so could you infuse the outer skin, wait till it gels, unbag, add foam and a pre-wetted inner skin with peel ply / release film on the back then bag as usual.

Should give the finish of infusion and the lightweight of bagged foam core.

But can it be done reliably / what are the likely pitfalls / who's done this before?
