Hi!

I'm trying to laminate my first piece, and I'm having the some trouble every time I try to laminate it, lots of resin and bubbles at the edges.

I'm using the same process of this video:

After all this process I use a peel ply a breather and a vacuum bag.

Someone can help me? Some pics below.

Corners will get bubbles if the fabric and/or bagging is bridging. Other than making sure during lamination fabric is conformed well, make sure to slowly/lightly apply vacuum and press in the corners with a rubber squeegee to ensure good consolidation in corners.
