Hi, 
I've having issues with bridging when trying to do a 5mm thick carbon/kevlar shell for a robot project of mine, im a machinist and have done fibreglass moulds for customers before but never a carbon fibre one, i think i rushed into machining the mould has i thought i would be able to wet lay carbon fibre sheet and resin like fiberglass, i've had 2 failed attempts trying to wet lay with struggling to get the fabric into all the contours with trying to get a quite thick wall thickness, i phoned easy and they said resin infusion is the way to go with using a tack spray to hold the fabric is place until the vacuum and resin is in, i purchased the kit and have tried the infusion but i think i haven't left enough flange around the base to have excess fabric pull its way down has i've had a better finish but still bridging/not taking the full shape, could this be the issue?, i can machine another mould with a 50mm flange around rather than the 25mm i have at the moment 



Thanks
Andy
