Hi Quick question

Is carbon cloth subject to picking up moisture while it is being stored? should I be storing it in a warm environment before laying up so that the material stays dry?

what sort of issues could I see if the cloth was left out in a workshop/shed before lay up.

All for resin infusion but I guess this question will be applicable to hand layup too.

Hi Warren

many thanks I suspected there would be some effect on the resin if using a fabric which had been left out. but it is good to be confirmed,

Is there any ideal storage condtions to keep the fabric in prior to use?
