Hello friends,

I infused a medium size part (1.30 x 0.40 meters) and say that 95% of the part was perfect, a small part was dry effect because the resin did not distribute perfectly.

Please, I would like a help, a solution to save this, because it generated me much expense and I would not like to infuse another part.

Suggestions to save the partwill be welcome.

Thanks

Is it totally dry, or have the fibres been wet out and it's just a bit too dry on the surface? 

If its the latter, you can simply brush some resin over the area so that it's a bit proud of the surrounding areas, then sand it back flat. It's likely you will have to clear coat it to get the gloss back as epoxies typically don't polish too well, but you could give it a go.
