Hi guys im new to resin infusion I've made carbon parts for an 1984 rwd Toyota Starlet  head lamp surrounds and front grill an I seem to have a problem with pulling of the Peelply an infusion mesh more so in tight angles was wondering do I actually need to put mesh in tight angle corners because of resin build up thanks in advance if anyone can help. So my first attempt didn't go so well let's say I wasn't very happy but kinda knew it would be trial an error second time around there were pretty good few little things in them but good enough to use.

Tight corners can always be difficult. You can cut the peel ply and mesh into strips to make it easier to move around.  I would only ditch mesh in hard areas if you are confident the resin will flow there anyway.

If there is a lot of resin build up in the corners, then that indicates you may well have a bit of bridging in those areas. having the strips of peel and mesh means the two can move slightly when you pull the vacuum making it a bit easier to get into those tight corners.
