I would run the resin inlet spiral lenghtwise, and the MTI tube (always lenghtwise) just on the opposite side. Just allow enough vacuum time to get rid of all the air (and the moisture) inside the bag before infusing. The thicker the laminate, the more the time to wait.
Additionally I would embed the MTI hose in a larger pleat of peel ply.

ok, so both lines run the length of the cylinder and are opposite each other. Is there a recommendation for positioning the inlet and MTI hoses?
- MTI on top of cylinder, inlet hose on bottom (6 o’clock & 12 o’clock postion)?
- MTI and inlet hoses at same height (3 o’clock and 9 o’clock) position?
I am concerned about the hoses running the length of the cylinder causing print-through, is this a candidate for the “Blade Runner” inlet?
Is this same setup suitable for including a sandwich core (divinylcell, etc.) into the infusion?
Right!I forgot the break zone.
Who can give an advise about cf hood with MTI ?
What is the best location or MTI if i dont want to make 4m round? Maybe some “Y” patterns with 3 short MTI pieces ?
That depends on you infusion setup. If you infuse with a line from the middle you can place the MTI hose on the right and left side.
I can choose any intake position. Maybe in the center y hose or x shape and 4x short mti hoses ?
Usually hood is the same item each time, I’d like not to loose 4 metres of mti,so better to understand optimal positioning of both lines. If i put mti both sides,what about other sides?
Maybe little drawing? I think about paralleled mti both sides and inlile in the center 15 cm shorter than bonnet width.
