Hello,

I have an issue with my hand layout carbon fiber parts...

It looks like the resin does not fill in the carbon part really well...see photo

Here is my process:
- Mold with gel coat and easylease release agent (I have no problem releasing the part)
- Temperature 23-25 C
- This part (but I get the same with all parts) is 1 carbon  (1st layer) and 3 glass
- I use a 1.3:1 in weight for the amount of epoxy vs material
- I use the easycomposite roller to remove air bubbles etc...at each layer. This time, even, to try and see if it would help, I used a heat gun on each layer to get rid of micro-bubbles. But made no difference.
- Then I put a release tissue, a perforated film and a layer of special

foam to absorb the excess of epoxy.

- Vacuum bagging overnight

But still I get this...which gives me lots of work to give it a proper finish afterwards...

Any idea what I do wrong ?

Thanks !

Pretty standard for wet lay vac bagging, it isn't as easy to get a good surface finish as it is with infusion.

Probably pulling too much vacuum and squeezing too much resin out, leaving a resin starved component. Really only want around 50% vacuum for wet-lay.
