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?

Hi All

First off let me ask for forgiveness for my truly horrendous IT skills in regards to the image below . The green section is the infusion mesh and the white line on the right is the resin feed spiral, i also had a spiral on the vac side also. Peel ply was used and i had four layers of carbon with no leaks in the bag and pulling full vacuum. The component below the mould is one of several i have made using these moulds and infusion with mesh over the whole component. I know the mould is far from ideal due to the size of the flanges but as stated i have used these moulds without any issues. I have think the answer is going to be don't infuse from right to left and go from top to bottom if using the no mesh method but look forward to the replies, every day is a school day Smile
