Depends on the size of the job and your stack. The thicker the stack, the more you will need to throttle it to allow the resin to saturate through the layers. But it's a juggling act, as slowing it down too much will cause issues as well. 

It's something you develop a feeling for. Most of the time you just let the resin flow and it will control it's own speed. I prefer to let the resin flow at its natural rate, but occasionally I find I need to throttle the first half of the infusion before opening it up fully as the flow front slows down. 





Short answer: try infusing slowly first. Get the feeling for it. As you learn the infusion process you will learn what works and what doesn't. It's generally more forgiving to go slowly.
