Hello everyone!
Lately I’m working with Vacuum bag infusion of Flax fibers, I’m infusing with PE resin. The pieces are small, 35x45 cm.
The layout is basically 5 layers of woven flax, 1 layer of peel ply, spiral tubes of inlet resin and vacuum are wrapped in a bleeder cloth and positioned above a layer of 3 times folded mesh and this mesh is positioned in touch with the fibers… (The picture shows this layout, but instead of the mesh I was using a low density glass fiber… but I found that the mesh works better)
The problem is that the velocity of infusion is really slow and I’m not sure if this is the best layout for it… So if you have any suggestion about it I will appreciate!
Thanks!
