epoxy resin comes in from the central tube and vacuum pump draws out air from the side tubes.

  • hell shkssj88, I don't know how to produce a pin-hole free surface using the method shown in this video.

    The normal way to produce a nice finish is to is a negative(female) mould for the part. You start by painting a gel-coat or epoxy/polurethane-paint into the mould, let it cure, and then laminate glassfiber+epoxy on top. The gelcoat/paint produces a nice surface. If you google for "pikanto mould" you will find my blog and my latest model-yacht project which uses this technique (not infusion)

  • google for "sp guide to composites" and read that!

  • hi, i need a help!

    i made some composite structure by resin infusion and it work well but after i have a problem ,,

    when i spray 1-2 hands of clearcoat but i have the famous problem of pin hole in the surface!!

    i try to degass the resin before to infuse. please, have you a solution for my problem? thank you very much

  • It may have been better to use a couple layers of infusion flow netting down the center attached to your epoxy line rather than the sprial wrap, only because you probably had quite a bit more waste resin this way, but at least you were guarateed epoxy would get to the far end quickly!

  • next time don't put your spiral wrap that close to the vacuum side and use some media flow for resin distribution

  • explanation of what's happening would be more useful than music.
