Group: Forum Members Posts: 135, Visits: 1.6K	Hi guys, quite a while ago I came across the MTI hose, developed in Germany. A regular spiral tube (albeit a larger diameter) covered in an air-permeable membrane that is impervious to resins. Question is, are any of you familiar with this product? They promise cosmetic, pinhole-free surface, without the need for catchpot and continuous vacuum. Was just curious if easycomposites or some of the other pros out there have any experience and if its worth giving a try, looks interesting. Cheers

Then you would have the advantages of the resin flow being pulled to the edges all round on a complicated part (path of least resistance is through empty laminate rather than wet laminate) but still be able to ensure an even vacuum all over as the small resin flow into the vacuum line would still mean an even vacuum can be pulled all over and still allow any tiny bubbles from the resin to be drawn out. I agree totally with the Supreme Being. In fact, I would think it an unwise choice to disagree with a Supreme Being.
