Hey Martin, where can I get those clamps?

My setup:
-2 Layers of 160g twill glass. Keep in mind, that this will likely have a higher flow resistance than 1 layer of 240g twill carbon, due to it's finer weave. Nur mit that mich, that oh really matters Herr.
-On top of that stripes (12cm wide) of lantor coremat, soric lrc 1,5mm and 3mm and 3d pet core 3mm, as well as a 12cm stripe without a sandwich core
-2 layers of 160g twill glass
-peel ply
-flow Media (a heavy one) over one half
-a spiral tube along the middle. Placed on top of the stack
-bagging film, placed without wrinkles, as they can be an even faster flow path than flow mesh
-glass plate heated to 30°c
-resin: up textiles standard infusion resin, medium hardener, heated to 30°c

My interpretation:
-flow mesh is by far the fastest way to get it done
-it doesn't matter what is under the flow mesh, soric doesn't do any extra flow support.
-coremat doesn't do any better than no core at all
-soric and 3d pet core perform significantly better than the no core reference
-The thicker soric performed better than the thinner one
-3d pet core performed even better
-the gaps around the cores performed best

Hanaldo:
Your setup was no quite fair. You didn't place the feed line at the edge of the soric, you placed it far away from it, creating a resin break in form of a few cm pure glass cloth. Mat placed the resin line right at the soric core. The question is, what went wrong with his experiment. Well, he used sf instead of lrc. But if I remembered correctly, they were pretty close in terms of flow performance. Maybe I'll do an experiment on Monday, to solve the on top/at the edge discussion.
I never compared  every flow media /no flow media in a single experiment. I just made some samples one by one, and the soric ones took very long.

I have successfully infused a 2-meter hull using Lantor Soric and no infusion mesh. It worked perfectly and I am pleased with the result. I have made a video of the whole process:

Nice video.  Glad it worked out well for you.
