hi guys, ive finished making a large mould, however im not sure where would the best location to put the resin and vac pipes.
im planning to put a vac pipe on each side of the mould and resin feed in the middle, but im worried the resin might not be able to climb up a 1m long roughly 70degree slope on each side.

i have attached a picture to roughly illustrate the size of my mould.

would like some input on where would be the best locations to put resin feed and vac pipes Smile

thanks

Bang on Mark, I didn't even notice that measurement on the side and was imagining like a boat hull or something.

I'd go side to side exactly as Mark described if it is only 50cm across.
