I love the idea of the ProFinish cloth used for the surface layer of a part.
My question is- Can you air cure when using a ProFinish surface layer on a wet lay-up?
I do a lot of wet lay-up parts (all under full vacuum) in an oven. But some parts are to large for our current oven.
This is a side business at home. But I work for a aerospace company(GKN North America) and have 10+ years of experience using autoclave and non autoclave pre-preg. Also air cured part when doing a new part or tool mockup. So using a "pre-preg like" cloth, outside of an oven, if a little foreign to me.
Thank you in advance. You have a great site.

Our ProFinishCarbon Fibre 2/2 Twill has an uncured resin binder on it so when you infuse or wetlay, it cures and cross-link polymerises with the epoxy resin system being used.
That means you are highly unlikely to notice any surface difference whichever way up you use the material.
