Group: Forum Members Posts: 36, Visits: 118	Hi all, I have made a few parts which have a few pin holes, whats the best/easiest method for removing these, do you just mix a bit of resin with fast hardener and keep applying until the hole is filled and then flat off or is there a better method? cheers Lee.

Obviously still have their place in F1 and aerospace, but for anything else OOA pre-preg will do a great job. Infusion is definitely a pain compared to pre-preg. If I could do everything in pre-preg I certainly would!
