Hi,

Just wondering if there's a reason most compression mould tutorials use chopped tow and not woven cloth. Is there a reason the cloth doesn't work in a compression mould?

Cheers,
Jon

Also remember the orientation of the fibres are limited with a woven cloth where as you get a more random orientation with a chopped tow so often it depends on the application of the part which approach is more beneficial.
