I've just done some moulding with spread tow cloth and I'm getting odd crease marks on the tows whcih look like it needs ironing.  Having checked back on the roll the marks are there in the dry cloth.  Any ideas on how I can get rid of them?  Really hard to photograph but here's my best go.

I used EC spread tow cloth.  I do wet lay though (hence the odd pin hole). 

Fred: be careful with prepreg spread tow, its a bit of a pain to shape to the mould.  With dry cloth the tows move quite freely against each other and it shapes easily when I tried pre-preg stuff it was touogh to use and did not form well at all.

Thanks for that info. Do you know if it can be infused?

Thanks
