Hi, I would like to infuse the attached mold with carbon fiber, several layers of 380 gsm 12k twill carbon.
What is the best way to cut the fabric and place in the mold, also to avoid tows separation at the edges?

Run the feed spiral up one side and the mti up the other.

Thank you.
I did like you suggest with the other infusions but this one has 600 € of carbon in it and I am very worried of a mistake leading to a bad part, so I would prefer to waste some MTI but be more confident of the result.
