As mentioned..   3x not a charm here.

I have this isseu every time.
Clearcoating without gelcoat would be an option. But allso that isnt easy with small holes like this.

Now i used gelcoat. Hoping it would help.

Gel had cured at 25 degrees for 5 hours was dry to touch.

I used 3m high tack clear spray adheasive to hold the fibers in place. (AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE)


on the vacuum catch pot the dail says my vacuum is 100%
I leace the pump running over night.  In the morning when the resin is hardned the vacuum line form the ez composite starter kit to the pot is flat from the vac. 

(I dont have an official cacuum pump.  I use a 35l/m fridge pump. Whitch seems to work fine.   I can add an extra pump if i need more cfm...)
If my vac is to strong.. i can make a bleedvalve to reduce vacuum.   

But idialy i would love to have a perfect finish.

I use easy lease release agent..  denoulding is a breeze..

I dont realy have pictures.   I have my cachpot level with the part.   35cm of line to pot.   U use +-1m of silicon line to the pump

Resin line is 35 to 40cm.
 10 to 30 min...    i think its faster.    I was thinking i was to quick then.

Il make pictures of my setup when i do the bottom

On the part shown. I infused front to back.   And bubbles getting more severe at the back.  At the front/nose its perfect.
And it basicly starts at the reinforcement coremat.. you see a bubble band there...

So next i will try this...

Droptest again.. then infuse.. close vac line. Give it a few minutes to soak more resin..close the resin and pull vac again. And continue with lower vac after infusion..
(Sinds im new i need to built some cobfidence i can close both lines...)   il try that later on a flat pannel..

Im 100% sure my pump is pulling a good vacuum.   
When my clock is touching the needle. I pull it to max or even over max the clock got on the scale..   temp is 20 to 23° C.  

ive tryed a smaller pump allso.  This one doing a little less.
All i found after further inspection was a little glass hair in the seal of the catchpot.
(Could that be the problem)

Here are pictures of my setup.. (yes. I know my wife lets me work in house. Nice and warm.  Love it!!

Anyway.   Pump didnt want to go further then this.
Left it pumping 30 min. Closed the line pot to the pump.
15 min in now. Needle didnt move yet.
Il wait for an hour or 2 then infuse.

Any commands? (I will listen to you if you have better advise.)
