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..

Ok the clock doesnt move a hair.  Its reading 28hg. Pump doesnt pull out more.

All materials are room temperature.
20 degrees.   I infused it fully. Vlosed the vac line.
Let the resin flow 45sec to 1 min longer. Abd closed that off allso.

Now im about 20 to 30 minutes into a closed vac mould 
And again bubbles appear.    They appear fulley random.
I opened the vacuum. Needle doesnt go down resin starts flowing in the catch pot.   And even more bubbles apear.

I stirred verry slowley and let it stand for 10 min before infusing.   

I dont know what to do no more lol.
