I will soon be doing my 1st resin infusion project. I have a couple of small things to ask:
1: The shape I am making is rectangular, so would it be best for the resin to a) infuse from the short end, so it has further but narrower to go, or b) on the long ends, so it doesn't have as far to go but would have to spread out more?
2: I am slightly concerned that where the material is touching the front of the mould before infusion, resin won't get in between, giving it a nice finish (no fabric poking through). Is this a common problem? or does the resin always find a way to coat the the material?
Thanks for your help

Infuse from the wide end. I once got caught trying to infuse a part that had a narrow section and the resin would just not make it all the way up that channel.
