Hi guys,
ive done a few infusions now, but im struggling to get the corners right!
- Perfectly sealed bag
- everything is room temp
- i tuck the bag in all of the edges
- use an edge peice to push all of the corners in
- all of the resin is degassed
i always end up with corners bad corners!

should i be using mesh on the corners?
is there a way of fixing the corners after the infusion?
thank you
