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..

Another thought.

The boat is using around 100cm by 48cm of cloth per layer.  With a total of around 650 gramms for the bottom part. (Top is less deu to the cutout.) On top is the peelply and the mesh.
how much resin would i need to infuse this? 
I cant remember how much i put in the parts i did with succes. (Memmory is killing me.) , i think i put way to little resin in.    Hand layup i know i allways use 50/50 resin to reinforcement.   I dont know how much the mesh needs and the peelply.

I infused it front to back(over the long section)
Is i cant realy infuse over the short side deu to the mould atm. So i need to bridge 100cm. What would be a good time to aim at to infuse the part?   The in2 epoxy is ordered in. So i will wait till that comes.   It comes with slow hardner..  

Sorry for the questions but my medication spins my head sometimes and i forget or mis understand things what used to be a simple thing for me. Lol. Calculating things is a 100% problem sinds i started on these. Lol

Il write it all down. So i dont mess it up again. Lol. Then when it goes wrong i can allways track it back.  Before my meds i never had memmory isseus.

Please forgive me for giving you a hard time here.
