Hi guys I've made my first piece and I am happy as a child. 
Although it didn't come out perfect (some air voids in the corners, etc.) I am pleased with it as first attempt. 
The only thing is that the infusion mesh and the peel ply are completely "fused" together with the part. I have managed to get the mesh off in some places, but the rest is stuck on the part. 
The peel ply though, is completely fused with the fibre, there no way to get it off. 
What did I wrong?? Perhaps too much resin? 
Thanks in advance for your help.

Good to hear!

Yep on my first part, the peel ply was too small, now I let it extend aprox 3 cm and it is easier.

cheers
