Methods for fabricating composite tools and composite tools are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method for fabricating a composite tool includes providing a master mold and forming a low temperature cured resin laminate overlying the master mold. The low temperature cured resin laminate is heated and compressed to form a cured low temperature cured resin laminate, the low temperature cured resin laminate heated to a first temperature. The cured low temperature cured resin laminate is removed from the master mold and a high temperature cured resin laminate is formed overlying the cured low temperature cured resin laminate. The high temperature cured resin laminate is heated and compressed to form a cured high temperature cured resin laminate. The high temperature cured resin laminate is heated to a second temperature, wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.
