Just trying to get some opinions on glass layups with regard to amounts of resin used for different types of weaves versus their overall strength. :confused:
I'm planning on using unwoven bi-directional with a well 'stippled' wet layup without vacuum bagging, the idea being to keep down time and cost.
My real question is; will bi-directional suck up more resin than woven?
And what happens when you add extra layers?
I've got enough moulds now to actually start making BITS:ban:
