Thank Warren!

Peel ply is a fabric and porous so the resin flows through it fine.

In essence you want the VacuumBagging Starter Kit minus pump.

Hi I'm new to the forum today. I have shaped a very thin wooden board to be laminated for kitesurfing. My plan is to put a layer of 'BlackStuff' CF on the bottom and a layer of glass on top, each with the wet-laid vacuum bagging method.

I have access to a workshop that already has an Easy Composites vacuum pump kit, but need consumables. I'm guessing I need:

• carbon fiber
• fiberglass
  
• a resin and hardener combination
  
• peel ply
• perforated release film
• breather/bleeder cloth
• vacuum bag material
• vac bag sealing tape
• some tool to spread the epoxy around
  
• a volatiles mask
  

Is this a complete (or overcomplete?) shopping list for what I want to do? I'm a bit confused why the release film is perforated but the peel ply isn't - how does the epoxy flow through the peel ply if it isn't perforated? Can you recommend the epoxy combination? Can you recommend the best fiberglass type?

Thanks in advance

Our Epoxy Coating Resin would be the ideal product for that. With careful application you can get a good finish but not lay it on too thick, thus adding unneccesary weight.
