The application for my carbon fiber designed parts requires a high temp resin as they will live around high revving engines. I know the high temp resin available here has approx a 500 viscosity rating, and as I can tell a vis of 225 is required to use in the infusion method. What would I need to do to remedy this issue. I need to use the infusion method to create these parts for a few reasons. 1. A pre-preg is not always an option because of my use of custom designed, colored and sizes of fabrics. 2. Lay-up method results in parts lacking consistency in quality. 3. Infusion has become the method I've found reduces production time. If the high temp resin is pre-heated or warmed would that lower the viscosity enough to flow in infusion? What can I do to make parts with infusion that can comfortably live at a minimum temp of 110C?

Also keep in mind that there is no such thing as pure alcohol. It is an azeotrope so there will alwways be the risk of actually having water at part of the alcohol and that can be bad for epoxies if I understand correctly.
