Hi guys,
I’m new to resin infusion, I finally made a sealed mould and did a drop test before infusing.
I did a 3h drop test in which it held vacuum pressure.
The ambient temp was between 25-30 degrees Celsius.

The resin was de gassed
I started infusion by slowly loosening the hose clamp on the resin side while the pump was running.
Once I got full wetout, I clamped the vacuum side, and about 30s later I clamped the resin side.

everything looked fine for 2 minutes, then I started noticing the bubbles within the flow media, these bubbles started forming in different areas of the part.

Then I noticed some areas of the bag were very loose, e.g the area where the vac hose connects to the bag.

I’m not sure what’s causing this but it’s the second time it’s happened to me!

Would appreciate some help Smile

Thanks
