Hi , whats the epoxy amount for

300g diolen                                        

3mm Soric    

all so i have the breather cloth in my infussion kit,but its not mensioned in the video?  do i use it ?

i have a male corner in my mould and have cut the material to fold around it, is it possible to tack down the skicky out bits within the mould, if so what with? 

i am using wax ontop off a pva (polyester resin mould) as a release will this be ok

 

many thanks  

Hi Jackflash, I moved your post to the starter kit area so the team can answer your questions and also so other newbies searching will find answers in the same place.

to help the team if you can say rough surface area and number of layers of diolen and thickness of soric as they will be more accurately be able to guide you on the resin quantities needed.

in terms of tacking down the area you have cut, on one of my projects i have a similar overlap from a cut, i used a small amount of mixed resin to tack it down. Its a fine balance between using enough resin to hold it in place while laying up, and using so much that it could effect the infusion.  I found too much resin and too fast an infusion will mean a few pin holes where the overlap is as the resin will have partly cured by the time you infuse it. But the solution is simple, just go slow.

thanks
