HI ALL, 

im asking for the second opinion.
right now my final bagging sequence are 
1-layer of peel ply
5-layer of glass cloth (at specific area)
1-layer of NP
1 layer of glass cloth (all area)
2 layer of N10
1-layer of bagging film.
the idea of 5 layers of glass cloth is to absorb extra resin on that specific area to make it thinner. 
the problem I faced is only 2 layer of glass cloth are absorbing the resin, the 3 layers didn't absorb any resin
what can I do to make the resin bleed more so that all the glass cloth absorb the resin?

Removing resin will have no effect on the thickness of the finished product, as f1rob says, but it will make it weaker as prepreg is loaded with the precise quantity of resin required for the cloth type and weight being used.
