Hi, what is the recommended maximum fabric thickness for a one shot successful infusion, given a 250 cm2 square area?
Thanks

For the core you can bond 2x10mm together but take care it’s bonded proper, otherwise it will delaminate at neutral axis and you will loose stiffness and make sure the holes are not closed, otherwise your infusion will fail. 

Hi, can you recommend best way to bond PVC foam sheets?
Would micro fibers thickened epoxy do?

(About holes: I will perforate after the bonding, so no problem about closed holes)

Thickened epoxy is fine. It is critical to completely cover both surfaces so you have no voids. And then you need to press the sheets together with a very even pressure - vacuum is the easiest way to achieve this.
