Hello, I found a carbon fibre cloth which already looks like the finished "V" weave on this website.
Do you think it's a good carbon fibre cloth? 3K4X4TW50-V (V 4x4 Twill)

My second question is about this spray adhesive from Airtech.
I don't use a gelcoat and I'm searching a spray adhesive which causes as less surface imperfections as possible.
Do you think this spray adhesive could be the right choice?

ok I guess you mean in some place there is not enough bag pressure, so if you were gel coating the mold before the infusion, you'd have places were the infused resin would not fill properly the voids, between the gel coat layer and the clothe, is that it ?

thank you Smile

yes, I have so far almost never made the same part twice from the same mould, so each time is the first time and thus woking out were to put the inlet/outlets can be fun.

With the front clip shown above, I ran out of slow resin hardener and had to use fast, room temp was over 40deg so it was going off to fast to flow to some of the corners even though I had a lot of entry point I had to break the bag in 4 different places to introduce resin (1 area was size of a coin) so the bag had a huge amount of air introduced  and thus pinholes on surface in those places SadHeavy coats of resin using a 2 gun process (trick from Matt at EC) got rid of these pinholes but they would have been trapped under the gel coat if I had made the part that way and ruined it.
