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!

Most infusion grade spray tacs are largely invisible. If they are causing you issues, you are probably using way too much. You don't need a lot - the vacuum should be doing most of the work. You just want to give a very very slight tac.

If you are really struggling, you can also try using an in-mould coating first, and then that will make your spray tac completely invisible regardless of how much you use.

Which spray are you using now Hanaldo?

For visual applications i like to use isotacker from sicomin, and aerofix 2 for everything else as this one is much tackier and easier to work with. Used some other stuff when visiting other workshops and can't say there is a night and day difference between all the products I worked with.
The isotacker does completely dissolve which is nice when used on the tool directly tho.
