I have read many threads and posts on resin infusion. Still not 100% certain I can pull it off. My project is a 12 foot canoe. As with most any canoe, the width in the center is the widest. In my case, there will be 60 inches of resin travel (30 inches on each side of center). Of course this will narrow from bow to stern.
1) Would one resin line (3/8" inner diameter) be adequate to cover the entire mold (resin line running from bow to stern)? Would it make sense to have two parallel lines next to each other - each line supporting one half of the mold? Or more than two lines, each with equal separation?
2) With a full vacuum and two layers of 9 oz. plain weave S-2 glass, does anyone have a projection on how long it might take to infuse? I will be using resin flow media. I plan to heat the mold some and use Easy Composites infusion resin, which I might heat a little also. The entire area is about 3.5 sq. meters.
Thank you.
Alan
