Dennis if your infusion point is posted from mold and fabric, there aren't any blemishes, but you have a lower infusion speed

Thanks for the reply's,   Warren...The car this is going in is a full tube chassis drag car. It currently has a removable aluminium tranny tunnel. I am updating the car and making the interior C/F.

I did infuse this part on 1/2/13.....It is still in the mold so I don't know how it looks yet. Putting the layers of C/F was not that hard. when it started to be a pain was with the peel ply, But the huge pain was the infusion mesh. This stuff does not contour well at all....I ended up cutting it in sections and putting in multiple pieces. There was some places where there was no mesh and boy did the infusion slow down alot. Total infusion time was 38min. I was guessing it would take 45 min so it was better than I expected.  I did make this in one piece. I had the infusion point in the middle on one flange with spirial runing the length of the flange then down the two sides to the deepest points.  I then put two vaccum ports evenly spaced on the other side with spiral running the length on the flange. Seemed to work well. Neither side finished way before the other. I just hope this part comes out well.....Really dont want to use up another 3 yards of C/F.

I am 3 for 4 on getting bags to seal. They may not look pretty but the hold.  I had one I just could not get to hold so I had to rip the bag off and do it again. It was such a slow leak I could not find it. I think it was in the bagging material but had no idea where.

Here is a pic of the part.....It came out ok....The finish is perfect. no pin holes, no resin pooling and it is quite shiney. The only issue is the weave has some spots where is got distorted. Since I am still learning and this part is for my car it will get trimmed up and used for now. I will probably make another one at a later date and if it comes out better I will use that one and have this one as a spare.

Hi can anyone tell me which vacuum bagg is more stiff than nylon?
