I'm would assume it is somewhat dependent of the intricacies of the tool but would you give some idea of a good handling level of tack? Is too much problematic is too little lead to distorition/movement of the stack? THanks

Group: Forum Members Posts: 95, Visits: 548	http://www.ambercomposites.com/prepreg/out-of-autoclave-prepreg/ anyone have any experience with this? I live in Canada and I'm having a hard time tracking down any OOA materials. Anyone have suggestions for anything in Canada or the USA? Alternatively I might have to bit the bullet and buy from somewhere in Europe.... Any other sources would be appreciated. Until now I've been doing infusions but I'm really tired of the whole infusion process and need a change. Its a PITA with the whole layup and then the trimming afterward. Prepreg might just let me cut back on the amount of post production trimming....
