Just a quick hello, not done any composite work since 2001. I use to work for an Aerospace firm making helicopter blades with prepreg. I now plan to start making some parts for a motocross bike I'm restoring. Also a project for my son. 

Probably gonna be lots of silly questions coming over the next few months and beyond. I will start them by asking if anyone tried vac bagging a wet layup to help with consolidation  and surface finish? On a very low budget and thought this might be a good comprimise and alternative to prepreg. Never done resin infusion so thought i would try this at a later date when i get a bit more experience.

Thanks for the replies,  i did do some infusion on a composites course once but this was many years ago.
