Infusion is marine industry standard, recommend infusion because it is more forgiving (MSVII did infusion).
Not perfect vacuum (keep the pump running feed resin throughout).
Wet layups (heavier parts but are more forgiving also surface finish not as great – but it is great for joining). Not good for larger parts, layup can take hours. Can do wet lay without vacuum but highly recommended to attempt the vacuum, it is better. No wet lay with core material.
Wet layup vacuum (no catch-pot, just vacuum down). Practice first on small parts. If you do infusion get some glass sheet and layup on glass (practice how to do the inlet, outlet, vacuum, etc.). Composites testing are a good place to practice. Wheel wells.
Fabric, release material, resin membrane, then tubes, amount of vacuum bag not stretching but will not hold vacuum (shitty bad pump need better ones). Do a vacuum drop test (wait 30min if it drops a bit not good fix it). Fast curing resin system. Put pump on every couple of hours. Foam has micro cracks (Duratek on ply wood with tooling finish and you can see cracks). Foam sealed to the phalange (had no issues). Phalange to surface bag (no envelope, do a surface bag). Did any of the foam molds crack under vacuum (would not spend time on foam). Strongly suggests mdf stuff (Bryan CNC stuff). Foam molds had problems (do not go down that route).
MDF inch thick 3-4 inch (buy thicker ones). Everything you do, you should test. Try to break the piece with the adhesive. Test everything and do everything right. Bryan and Grant will be great resources.
Do not skip over testing (small and then work up).
Primary way to join panels is wet layups.
Bulkhead is a good candidate for wet layups.
Proper tooling coat (thick to get a good quality surface finish).
Panels with no core: smart directional 0, 45, 45, 0 (would rather see 0, 0, 45, 45), Benefits resin cost and weight, taking foam and filling it will resin (if you can shed the foam entirely it will be better). Fwer inlets
Make sure to have lots of inlets.

When pulling vacuum do you need a gauge (nice 40$40-50 gauge). Test the resin tap for the leak and test all the tubing for leaks. Digital gauge (easier to read and may be more accurate). Resin was way more. Fill resin traps (should be filling traps) will be a thing. Working time of resin (2 hour work, 6 hour initial cure, 24 hour cure, leave for 48hours).
...
Bulkhead to part will need to be wet layslayups.
Degas resin? (nah, but working time for resin was too short (it takes too long 1hour, 4 hour 6 hour cure time to do, do not use a drill- use a stick, pour controlled to avoid degassing).
