Group: Forum Members Posts: 7, Visits: 31	Hi guys, I plan to do a resin infusion as follows: (top to bottom) bagging film (from starter pack) 160g twill weave 390g twill weave closed cell foam 390g twill weave 160g twill weave flat acrylic mould (perspex) As this is first time I'm going to do this I'm worried if the finished product will be shiny, smooth and glossy on both sides? Or I am missing something here? Thank you

What I can say is that the PVC foam cored sample is quit strong in ratio to his weight. A second remarkable thing was the carbonfiber sandwich with fiberglass. I've did Carbon-glas-Carbon-glas-Carbon resulting in a very stiff, but heavier part. samples with the carbon only start to get stiff after 5+ layers. When there are less layers its quit easy to bend. I'll try to upload a new video talking about the weight and more details on the samples in the near future Matthieu Libeert Founder MAT2 Composites X Sports website: www.mat2composites.com
