A method for preparing a mandrel tooling member to receive a composite lay-up, the method comprising obtaining a mandrel tooling member having at least one working surface configured to support a composite lay-up; positioning a shrinkable material, in a pre-shrunk condition, about at least a portion of the mandrel tooling member and the working surface; and causing the shrinkable material to shrink and conform to the mandrel tooling member and the working surface to provide a barrier about the working surface.
