As you can see in the attached pictures I started out with an unflanged mould in sight of using a wet lay-up technique. Due to wanting cosmetically perfect parts and after consultation from the EC staff I decided to go for resin infusion instead. I modified my moulds so there would be sufficient flange space by adding a frame and a high-gloss surface to ensure that I can pull 100% vac. I am just about ready to start my first infusion and would like a few tips. The first mould I want to do is 70x40cm and approx. 7cm deep at its deepest point. I am planning to use 2 layers 200g carbon cloth and 2 layers of approx 150g e-glass. Is this a good combination and how much IN2 resin will I need based on the information? There is breather material included in my starter pack and it is also mentioned in the instructions, yet not in the video. I assume I should be using it. One more question (i hope): Can the reinforcement be cut smaller than the edge of the mould, or does it have to be almost at the gum tape? I hope I've formulated myself correctly! Thanks alot. Fabian
