Our bottom shell fiberglass mold is currently 192'' x 70'' x 32'', which makes it too large to be able to reach into the mold and do a wet-layup. For purposes like these, resin infusion is a better option.
Pros:
- Better fiber-to-resin ratio
- Less wasted resin
- Very consistent resin usage
- Unlimited set-up time
- Cleaner
If done right, this process saves materials and creates a stronger layout with less work during the layout and we can be more careful on layering throughout the setup process.
Cons:
- Difficult to set up
- Trial and error
- Difficult to keep dry materials flush to sides prior to infusion
