Hi Matt, 

Yes absolutely! clears it up for me thanks alot. I have no doubt you guys have the experience, thats what I posted there as well, as well as explaining your method to those who were confused. I would like my parts cosmetically perfect and thus have been pretty much solely following your instructions. 

I was skeptical about the fact that some people like to leave the pump on for several reasons, main one being that too much resin will be drawn out, but theres no danger of pulling all of it (or much more than intended) out? I thought that if you pull too much the structural integrity will be compromised. May sound silly, but as said I'm new to this. 

In my other post in the vacuum infusion starter kit section it becomes apparent that I'm new, yet have learnt very well what my mistakes were and will not be repeating them. Learning by doing so to speak. 

My part consumed a lot of resin, due to the bridging of the carbon itself. I was initially under the impression that the fabric conforms to the surface of the mould. After experiencing the contrary and thinking it over that the vacuum pressure is uniform, I now know that it does not.
