Hello Guys
Can anyone recomend a spray tack for epoxy resin infusion ?
I Infused a part on the weekend using Infuzene and it left stringy marks on the surface. Maybe i used to much but it sprays so inconsistently , hard to get only a mist.
I live in Australia so any local help with suppliers would be great.
Thanks
Rod.

Oh well there you go!
It does work well for infusion, I use it for everything. It has a mix viscosity of 300-400cps at 25 degrees, so it is a touch slower than the 200cps R118. This only really becomes an issue if you are doing a large part using an internal flow media like Soric, and you don't want to help flow with external mesh. But I have infused a 2.7sqm bonnet using only Soric, and that infused fully in about 40 minutes, so still no where near your pot life. If it does become an issue, just mix smaller batches and refill the pot a few times.
I highly recommend giving it a go instead of the kinetix.
