resin infusion



Here you can see the resin being sucked into the bag. infusion requires a good deal of prep work and if you set things up right, it is a very pleasant technique that minimizes potential contact w/ the resin and it can be very neat to watch......it's just a matter of using 3M77 to tack all your dry glass in place, wrap the part w/ peel ply, decide how to pull your resin, build a periferial vacuum manifold, w/ a resin brake then tap the center so that resin can flow outwards.

In this instance, I din't get a full infusion but it's easy to just tap into the bag where it's dry and repeat the process until you get your part.

Parts do come out really nice when things go right......
