I am going to vacuum bag a Carbon Fiber bar stool, using IN2 Resin, Soric and Carbon Fiber Tape at the edges of the Soric, like in the How To...Bonnet/Hood video. The stool will be like a 16-inch wide ribbon with a profile that looks like a "Z", and a Soric core. The total length is approximately 65-inches. I am in the US, and I cannot find Infusion Grade Spray Tack anywhere.

What method/s (other than Spray Tack) could I use to hold the Carbon Fiber Tape, Cloth, and Soric in place?

Many Thanks!

Just wanted to add a follow up post for how I got on using 10% methylated spirits.
I've come to the conclusion that the epoxy print left on my previous attempt had something to with using fibreglass instead of Carbon. I'm basing this on the next attempt using carbon for the surface layer backed up with the same glassfibre mat used before, this worked perfectly where the carbon was in contact with the mould surface whereas one spot where the fibreglass was in contact with the mould flange left the same print as before.

This is the finish I achieved on my latest completely carbon/kevlar version using the spraytack epoxy:





If I remember right there is a coating on fiber glass that aids in he wet out with polyester resin. This could be the contaminant that is giving you the problem.
