So I'm getting fed up with the labour that comes with the layup time doing infusion of complicated parts and are on a missing to reduce that while still keeping the budget reasonable for a college student.
So im playing with the idea to moving over and use silicone bags instead as I intend on doing multiple parts. (possibly brush on silicone to keep spray equipments costs down)

And to be able to skip the whole peel ply, perforated release film and flow mesh deal as that is what is both time consuming and easy mess up and end up with bridging issues if not being careful. And to combat the flow properties in other ways, help me here. What are the factors I can play with?
-core material with flow properties. (out of the window because part has to be thin sub 1mm. using 650g C twill 45/45, 440g Glass 45/45 for flex length wise atm)
-structural flow media such as Fiberglass veil or CSM kind of stuff ( are there any good drape able alternatives here)
-leaving a low profile regular flow media on the part
-heating up the mold and the resin to reduce viscosity (using EC IN2 resin atm)
-figuring out smart ways to use permanent resin runners inside the silicone bag.
-simulate a grid/flow mesh like structure in the making of the silicone bag

anyways just thought it might be a fun idea to play with might be just stupid idk
here are some pictures of the part and mold doing it the old fashion way
