Dry Spots on Fabric After Infusion

Group: Forum Members Posts: 19, Visits: 39	Hello, I have been infusing my parts lately and each time I pulled the part, I have dry areas on the surface. Seems like the fabric is not fully wetting out. Or is it due to the super 77 adhesive I'm using to hold the carbon fiber in place? I mist it a few passes on the carbon fiber and press it into the mold.
