Hi all

is it necessary to use infusion mesh on smaller parts? (< ½m2)
I suspect that it would work without,
and opposite that the resin would know about "the path of least resistance"
and not penetrate all the layers/fibres if it could flow more freely in the mesh.

How about just start with mesh the first cm´s?

What I have found works, especially on say a 90 degree internal bend with a tight radius is to mark the mesh with a pen. Then fold the mesh back on itself along that line creating a tight crease in the mesh. I sometimes also stop the mesh just short of the problem area, and then continue with the mesh after that. This does increase lay-up time, and for me that means less profitAngry That is why I use the no mesh technique on some parts. You can also substitute the mesh for small pieces of soric (on top of the peel ply) in problem areas as this acts as a flow medium and conforms to complex shapes well.
Hope that helps.
