Hi all
I've been lurking on here for a while and have recently started making some parts for a project car. I've started using resin infusion hoping to get a more uniform finish and like everybody (I guess) I occasionally get voids where I havent gotten my cloth in to the corners but I'm also getting surface voids along the edge of where I have used closed cell foam as a stiffener.
The above is 2 layers of 200g carbon, the stiffener then another 200g layer on the back, any advise on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.
Thanks
