Jake let us know how the experiment works out. I was not using bleeder cloth on the larger lay-up, but it looks like on a smaller lay-up you need to play with pressure or use bleeder cloth. I use thickened epoxy in my lay-up on the direction of my NA by adding a slight amount of filler to my epoxy and buttering up the foam first also.

I guess it is always good to step back and re-think our process especially when there are large amounts of time and cash involved.

Time to make test panels after I build my new vacuum pump system.
