Hi I am after a little advice
I have a screen fillet from my westfield which I intend to recreate in carbon the problem i have is that the part is long and thin.
I would like some advice as to the best position to put the resin feed and vacumm lines
Across the part I think the resin will travel too quickly but along the part is the length too long
Middle vacumn with feed from both ends?

Yep just like that but I ran spiral the full length of each side. If you leave a couple of inches of just peel ply (no mesh) it doesn't come through. Well, it didn't for me.

This is no problem with a break zone, as FLD suggested. You will want spiral hose on the vacuum side...
