You'd usually look to use the lighter weight fabrics for your visible surface backed up by a single layer of a heavier nature.

Both were infused on the same day, same temperature and demoulded at the same time, however the 650g part it came out extremely flexible almost like I could fold it up! The 3x 200g part is nice and solid Am I missing something? Why did the 650g part come out so flexible
