Hi all, I need some assistance on Infusing a part as its a dry substrate that I'm infusing and not a composite. I need to apply peel ply to it prior to a vac infusion at room temp using an epoxy resin system.
The part to be infused is quite complex in geometry and I was thinking of using spraytac or fusion fix to do so, but I've heard that epoxies don't dissolve it? Is this true?

Any help greatly received.

If you go for Fusion Fix GP, it is epoxy compatible, so although not dissolved, it does cross link meaning that from a mechanical perspective, a typical careful application on the surface and between fabric layers will not cause you any structural issues. 

From the cosmetic perspective, you will likely need to clean the surface to remove the spraytack after demould.  This will leave slight surface marring that as long as you were very sparing in its use, can be lightly polished out.
