IN2 infusion resin for non infusion

Hi.

I would like to try resin infusion on some parts of a model aircraft but on other parts it is not possible. It may be an ‘open’ layup or laminated before bagging.

If I use IN2 on a normal layup, is the resins low viscosity likely to cause bleed out on non horizontal surfaces?

Do you suggest a different epoxy for non infusion (Im trying to avoid buying 2 lots)?

The situation is pretty much the opposite - in this case the EL2 is too thick to infuse very well. It does infuse a little bit but no where near as well as the lower viscosity IN2 which means you would really struggle on anything but very small parts.  We would recommend you stick to a dedicated low viscosity infusion resin for infusion.
