Let me quote this again:
> > When I have a line clamp not full open it seems to create bubbles,
This to me sounds like there are visible bubbling going on when the resin starts to infuse the part. So there is clearly some sort of outgassing taking place. (or did I totally misunderstand this sentence?)
If infusing parts works for you without degassing, fine, then do it without. Not using degassed resin is another source for error for the inexperienced. Just look how many posts and questions there are about infusing with (in my opinion usually unsuitable) VE and polyester resins. And epoxy resins of unknown origin, with god knows what volatile ingredients. Blanket statements like "degassing unnecessary" might be true sometimes but certainly not all of the time.
> The more processes you add into the mix the more chance there is of things going wrong, and trust me people get degassing wrong.
The main problem I see here is people not really understanding what is going on, and trying to get ahead of themselves. Infusion isn't exactly a simple process for beginners, people need to learn how to do a proper wet layup without vacuum bagging etc. before progressing to more advanced procedures.
And degassing is dead simple if you do it right. Like NOT trying to degas an enormously thick layer of resin in a narrow, high container. The thicker the layer to be degassed, the harder the process is because the vacuum at the bottom of the resin container is much worse than that at the top of the resin. Simple basic physics.
