Hello,
We have been attempting to infuse carbon fiber fabric with some custom made vinyl ester resin visc aroung 400. We are all new to this so any advice would be appreciated.
The equip we r using for the infusion is:
-Vacuum pump 2.5cfm
-resin trap with gauge (paint sprayer can)
-bagging -

-release film perforated -

-flow media -

We are getting a consistent seal, no leaks pretty much every time we attempt. But we still get small pitting or pin holes consistently thru out the carbon fiber.
Thanks,
Don
