Hi all,
After a whole lot of research and watching many tutorials from Easy composites I finally thought I'd have a go at resin infusion.
I've dabbled a little previously with some composite aircraft repairs whilst in the RAF, but have never done anything like a cosmetic part.
The issue I have is that there are voids across the surface of the part, it was quite a complex mould shape ( Lotus Evora GT2 Air box, which was designed for pre-preg and not infusion) but I thought I'd have a go anyway.
As this was just a practice infusion I used 'Black Stuff' 200gr fabric as the outer layer, backed with 3 layers of 420gr twill. Next time this mould is used will be with pre-preg, but I'd just like to understand the possible issues with the surface here initially.
Other factors - Compound curves and vertical walls required fusion fix - Resin not fully degassed? (Degassing Pot hasn't arrived yet, although left for 10 mins) - Resin flow speed too high? Should have started with something much easier?
