I'm wanting to make this 3 vent bonnet for my waggon. To date everything I have done has been wet lay. Perusing this forum has got me thinking about having a go at infusion. I'd appreciate your opinions on if this is an ambitious moulding for a first go (especially given how comfortable I am with wet lay).
I'm also looking for thoughts on weight / strength of these two lay-ups.
1) 200g / 650g / 200g wet lay with constant vac
2) 200g / 200g / 2mm soric / 200g / 200g infusion
My thoughts are that 1 will be lightest but 2 will be strongest. Plenty of time to reply as I'm still sorting out the moulds. The base piece of the mold is a horrible shape so might be tough to infuse.
