If you look around you see the vacuum spiral Thanks again, Can the feed spiral can be placed in the middle of the tool and stil spread the resin as long as there is a dist-mesh with vacuum on either side? So the resin does not flow, or very little beyond/outside the dist-mesh? Do you get any resin on the back of the mold? http://motoform.blogspot.se Edited 12 Years Ago by prsw

I used to race motorcycles too (French championship, trained 3 weeks with Kenny Roberts in Spain etc...) and although my sculptures are usually pure art rather than functional art, I've been flirting with the idea of building motorcycles.. Cheers from France.

Resin flow a little outside the mesh, for my esperience about 3/4 cm, so I cut mesh smaller than the fiber. I never had problems infusing like this. On the back of the mold there is a little resin, but if you places well the bag, it's acceptable.
