Hi All, new to the forum here Smile

I have only ever made small parts in carbon before but am thinking about making a bonnet. One quick question, is it worth shelling out for a vacuum infusion setup, or can I just lay carbon with a brush as normal? Are the results really that much better?

Definitely recommend going for infusion, and playing around with it a bit before attempting a bonnet. I think I jumped into it a bit quickly, expecting it to be as easy as the EC and other videos make it look. But there is a bit of a learning curve to it, I still haven't achieved a perfect finish straight out of the mold, but I'm getting there BigGrin

It is definitely better than wet-lay in my opinion, even if the material costs are a little bit higher.
