Hi guys, I'm a furniture designer and after doing a few infusions (and then doing a great 3 day course @ easy composites) I'm absolutely hooked on composites. The possibilities in my field are endless and are barely being touched upon.

My favourite thing about infusion is its possible to very accurately calculate your resin requirements. If you work out the size of your part in square metres, then you can work out how much of each material you need to cover the part. Then you know the weights of each fabric you are using, so you can multiply the fabric weight by the total area and then divide that number by 1.5 to get a 60/40 fibre to resin ratio. Then infusion mesh uses 700g of resin per square meter, or Soric uses 550g per square meter per millimetre thickness. Add 100g resin to allow waste for the hoses and bottom of the cup and you're set!
