Hy guys. 

I have a bit of a problem. I was covering part with heavy carbon sleeve in 2 layers. Method was wet layup with vacuum baging. I calculated resin, covered everything with it and placed in vacuum. After curing carbon is in place and is fairly strong but it it seems that it got just semi saturated.

Is it possible to cover and dab resin into fabric or something else or piece is ready for recycle bin?

Main issue is that it is in 2 layers so I would like to be sure that under layer is saturated as well as upper one

Thanks for Your reply Warren. For my purpose I use your method from tutorial with house vacuum cleaner and packing bags so vacuum didn't exceeded 20% for sure. 

I checked one spare section I cut from a model and it seems that it might be good actually although not 100% sure.
To me it seems that if layup stayed dry, first layer is semi dry one and thats what bothers me because I am not sure how is that possible, especially with a lot of resin and vacuum. Anyhow I will try and use model, if it fails will inspecr further
