I bought a infusion starter kit from EC. In this kit I got a couple square meters of breather layer cloth. I have seen the instructions film on easy composites.com, but I have't seen a film with the breather cloth in use. So I have some questions:

- When should I use the breather cloth?
- Why do I use the breather cloth? 
- How do I use the breather cloth?

Is breather cloth necessary for a large (1500mm x 500mmx30mm), wet layup? I'm making a centerboard for my sailboat and i'm trying to figure out if i can DIY a vacuum setup with my home or shop vacuum.  I'm wondering if it is necessary to use breather fabric? I don't care about looks, only strength.  Thanks

Well...since you want to do wet layup, I think that breather cloth isn't necessary. Remember to use peel ply and a net. 

Good luck.
