[Video] Part Making

Step 10 Finishing Up

Once your part is under full pressure, you should start to notice little bits of resin poking through into the breather. This is good! It's somewhat of a concern if you don't see resin (unless its a zone where the film release overlaps). But, there's nothing we can do at this point.

Too much resin is also a problem. At no time should resin enter the vacuum lines, valve etc. That, would be terrible.

Finally - the worst thing you can do is apply vacuum - realize you have a bridge and the release vacuum. This removes resin, adds air and then attempts to suck air out again with resin on top. So go slowly, don't apply vacuum all at once.

We flipped our tool so it would cure with minimal warping. Cure time is at least 16 hours with our resin.
