  1. It is better to infuse against gravity

    • Reduces risk for dry-spots - the resin cannot just flow in-accordance to gravity

  2. Depends on the scale of the part
    Perforate your core with 1/8” holes spaced around an inch apart

    • Helps the resin flow-through adequately through both-sides

    • Can use school’s CNC machine to program and cut-holes

  3. Always perform a vacuum-drop test before starting infusions - no drop in 15 minutes

  4. Use breather if-possible to prevent the bag from being punctured

  5. Always add lots of pleats (6” long) to your bag so that every-crevice is covered well with the tape

    • including at the tubing where the Enka sits

  6. Instead of wrapping the chromate tape around the tubing, stuff the chromate inside, poke a small-hole for the resin to go-through

  7. Use rollers to help seal the chromate together (VERY important the seal is perfect)

  8. Add 0.5-0.75” foam to necessary places in Aero-body where there will be cut-outs during infusion - helps keep the structure together
