Group: Forum Members Posts: 26, Visits: 89	Hi, I would like to make a small straight razor blade (so size is 14 X 2 cm max.) I would like to make it in a closed mould under high pressure (so it made of 1piece). I want to have the carbon cosmetic finish on both sides so here is my issue. All infusion I saw had one flat surface on the side of the bagging. If I do not use peel-ply and / or infusion mesh is it possible to succeed with infusion if the part is very small? If I use Easy Lease knitted mesh does it make a difference? How can I get 2 cosmetic sides on my razor blade? Thanks for your help. Kind Regards, Olivier

If you have a split mould of both sides of the razor-blade, that can withstand high pressure, there is really no need to use infusion .. just wet-lay in the carbon to fill the void, very resin rich, then compress. and let the excess resin escape out the joint of the two halves.. No need to have anything but release agent in there .. "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW! The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind... 103% of all people do not understand statistics... Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)

one quick question, why would you want to make a carbon razor blade?

That's what I would have said ^ Matched moulding is better than infusion really.
