Hey Folks,
I haven't posted here for a long time. I have been working on vacuum infusion (for impregnating the composite matrix) for sometime and have been introduced to a really great new technique called Double Bag infusion.
Instead of a long post about it, I will try to post some articles here.

I found that using infusion, one guy can get superior results in layups at room temperature using Vinyl Ester or Epoxy. As long as you use resin formulated for infusion. That means low viscosity.
It is really easy to set up your shop and doesn't cost much as most equipment can be found at hardware stores and eBay.

I'm not a teacher and not selling anything. I just think it is great stuff for home builders.

Hope this works.
