Hi! i've not had this problem with infusion before, only thing i did differently was running much stronger vacuum, 29 inHg's. (if so, what is a proper vacuum pressure)
the fabric is fully wetted out, no dry spots, but i can feel the dimples.
the piece was 2x2 twill layers sandwiching a soric layer.
one last thing, is it alright to let the soric layer be visible, like in the 3rd picture? i'm wondering why use carbon tape around the edges in your car bonnet video, just cosmetics or..?
Much Thanks
