When you do wet lay like this you really need to force the fabric into the corners as it will bridge very easily with a 2x2 weave. Are you placing the whole mould in a vac bag? If you are as people have mentioned dont pull full vac initially. You need to make a bagging dibber esentislly a spatula to force the material and bagbinto the corners. Also ensure the vac bag has excess in the corners as it will bridge and pull the carbon up.
