I have just had everything delivered to do resin infusion. I have made my mould, and am pretty much ready to go.
I am fairly nervous about making the 1st one. Does anybody have any tips on doing some kind of practice run?

The carbon material is rather expensive, and I was toying with the idea of using some other kind of fabric for a practice run, would this work the same?

Practicing with woven glass is a good idea as its a fraction of the cost of carbon.
