Hey guys, just finally got done getting all the peelply and godamn mesh out of the part. I made I bit resin rich cos I was trying some things out. Well the part came out great and pinhole free.

The downside is getting that stuff out. Sticks like s*** to blanket to be honest.

I read somewhere quite a while ago though, that you can put a layer of perforated release film between peelply and mesh? would this work, has anyone tried this?


cheers

perforated release film will work for this purpose. Just slow the infusion slightly as it takes a bit longer to filter through the film. 

We always recommend tearing off the peel ply in thin strips.  Ive tried pulling it off in one bit and even on a small mould you end up giving yourself a hernia if youre not careful!!
