Hy guys. 

I have a bit of a problem. I was covering part with heavy carbon sleeve in 2 layers. Method was wet layup with vacuum baging. I calculated resin, covered everything with it and placed in vacuum. After curing carbon is in place and is fairly strong but it it seems that it got just semi saturated.

Is it possible to cover and dab resin into fabric or something else or piece is ready for recycle bin?

Main issue is that it is in 2 layers so I would like to be sure that under layer is saturated as well as upper one

Probably a good idea to post a picture, it feels like you are saying it is dry when what you might actually be experiencing is just voids and pinholes which are quite common in a wet-laid part regardless of resin content. If you can post a picture or two then we can tell you if it is actually dry or just high void content.
