If you pull 80% vacuum in the begining, it will degass without rising, then add more vacuum till perfect Matthieu Libeert Founder MAT2 Composites X Sports website: www.mat2composites.com

Group: Awaiting Activation Posts: 5, Visits: 47	Hello everybody, I got very helpful answers from you guys last time, so I decided to ask again In my infusion process I use low viscosity infusion resin. When I try to degas it with my home-made chamber I get many bubbles escaping from my pot and forming a big foam on the surface. This is endless I use full power of my vacuum pump (nearly -1.0). I've never managed to get clear liquid after degassing. What should I do to improve it and make it more effective? Sorry for my english, Thanks! Peter/Poland
