Here are some test layups I did. They are knitted biax (2 layers of 12oz) or knitted triax (1 layer of 21oz). The foam was painted with epoxy and no micro. The next layer is the glass, followed by peel ply, perf ply, and bleeder. I have tried 29 inches vacuum and 10 inches with almost identical results.

I am not sure if these are OK to use and would appreciate some comments from people who have done this.

Thanks.
Steve
