This is not Infused/Vacuum bagged, merely painted on. A base coat of resin is painted into the mold and allowed to go to tack, and then the fabric is layed and covered in more resin. I am just starting out playing with this stuff which is why I'm not infusing yet. (Although, I do have a pump and all of the consumables, so I may try it and see if that helps at all.)

Both the Mold and The part are sanded with 400-2000 wet/dry sand paper. 
Silmar-249 resin used
Mold release wax and PVA paste used.

Not sure what is going on.

Thanks

2000 grit is cloudy. Have you polished your mould with polishing compound after sanding to 2000?
