Yeh it isn't necessary to know the science in depth to get good results, but I find once you understand these things you can predict problems and take measures to increase your chances of success. All comes with experience though, so you'll get there! 

just so you know (picked it up from one of your posts), "vac bagging" and "infusion" are two completely different methods, vac bagging you laminate (wet lay) then put into the bag and pull the vacuum - so they may have confused what you want to do with it. Infusion is still quite a new concept in a lot of circles.

Ok, so Vacuum bagging is where I would basically 'soak' the carbon fiber, place it into the mold, then bag it and put vacuum. Infusion is where I put the dry fiber and bagging materials in, pull out all the air, then draw in resin?

...Would explain my confusion, most people I talk to refer to Infusion and 'vacuum bagging' as the same thing...or maybe im just not paying attention (which could very well be).

So if I lets say laid out the fiber, painted on the resin then put it in the mold and added the bag, connect to vacuum, that is what this Dura-Klear Laminating resin is for. My only concern is having enough time to get all the layers wetted up then put in the mold then whatever materials on top and sealed down before it starts to harden. Im gonna go look up 'Vacuum bagging' to see if that is a better choice for me for this week until I have more time to source an 'infusion' type epoxy. Unless the solution that Hanaldo gave me will suffice for now (feeding and drawing from 1 side of the mold to the other and not end to end) The west system epoxy I know will work for the bagging method because with the ultra clear hardener it seemed to have a longer pot life than the epoxy im using now.

Lastly, if I need to fix the mold, can I add some tooling gelcoat to the imperfection, let it cure and then sand it smooth? or will that pull away from the surface thats already there? I know I will need to clean the release wax Ive been using.

so yeah...I watched a vacuum bagging video.. forget that noise. Thats more materials I need to buy and theres more to learn, maybe when im not on a time crunch. Im gonna do what Hanaldo said regarding the in/out points on the mold and keep my fingers crossed, maybe my toes and eyes too... just for good measure

Apologies, should have looked up the resin. 

It doesnt have to be absolutely perfect. I just need these blasted bubbles to go away, as well the shallow spots where there is barely any resin in the carbon. My 1st attempt at this approx a month ago I had to skuff the surface of the part and brush on a thin layer of resin atop the part to give it that gloss. Though I suppose a high gloss clear coat of paint will work as well. These are interior pieces so a flat look might suit me better, not sure till I can get an acceptable finished part and then trim and install.

Oh yeah, how long do you hit the resin with a heat gun to get the bubbles out when you brush resin. A few seconds? just leave it on there forever? or is it until you dont see it bubbling anymore? Or is there really no clear answer

Just go over it quickly, you can see the bubbles pop. You don't want to create any bubbles, that means you're boiling the resin. 

Hanaldo and ChrisR. Thank you very much for the help. I wont have much chance to try out these new suggestions till Friday. But I will update this thread with my results.
