Something like this. Notice the flow material is slightly smaller than the rest of the lay-up.

So , A lot of stuff was under the christmas tree, so missing one thing ......a vaccum leak detector ,
What model did you use ? I m gone on web , and saw a lot of model, some cheaper, some very expensive .....
Is it better to use rigid or vinyl tubbing for the vaccum and resin line ?
Thanks for’your help

I just use my ear and run around the bag and watch the gauge. A leak detector would be great lol, didn't know they had such a tool.

I bought a unit from jb industries that was fairly affordable. Around $150 USD. I used it a few times, but after I switched to the heavier (non stretch)vac bags, I honestly haven't had a leak that I couldn't find right away without it. I use a more rigid hose for the vacuum side. The inlet tube can be flexible and it's actually easier to pinch off if it is. If you have any further questions, let us know.
Merry Christmas to all.

Ok I saw the JB ind leak detector, it’s for A/C system, and refrigerant , does it works just with air leak ? If yes , a friend of me has one , is a A/C fitter.

merry Christmas back. Lots of info in this pick. So the first infusion only went so far before pot gelled. So as far as speeds and gels go. Note to self you can re infuse same part after it kicks. This was my last part I made. I like a fast kick but damn 7 minute pot was too fast

7 minutes!!!!! Da%) that's fast. Trying something new? Have you ever thought about putting your logo on a veil?

How many time you wait between you spray gelcoat in the mold and the infusion ?

Typically longer than 12 and less than 24. Epoxy likes the gel dry
