Hello,
I have recently made a couple of flat sandwich structure panels by resin infusion and after leaving it to set for three days I found that some of the panels' carbon fibre layers were still wet with epoxy and havent set yet. I have laid them out hoping they dry and set properly. I suspect its my fault since I may have used more resin than I needed. I would like to know whether the wet parts will eventually set and dry or not and if they do will it significantly affect the overall properties of the structure? Also, are there any troubleshooting methods I can take since I might not have enough time to make new parts before my project deadline?
Thank you
