This was a practice run at resin infusion. I had never tried it and wanted to see how it went. Overall I learned a lot (mostly what not to do) and this was the result. Panel is 3 plys of 3k 2x2 twill, on a glass table top that was waxed with 5 coats of Partall #2.

Thanks for the help as always!

Second attempt worked out much better. Used the 700nc and release was very good. Thanks again for the help!
