In this video tutorial we infuse the first part out of the mold we made in the previous 2 video tutorials. We are infusing a carbon fiber motorcycle side cover using Proset INF114/INF210 epoxy resin and hardener.

We did have a failure on this part related to not having the carbon in direct contact with the mold and bridging. We talk about that at the end of the video and we'll do some more videos where we use alternative methods to hold the carbon in place and avoid that.

The process is:
Apply release agent to the mold.
Apply sealant tape around the perimeter of the mold
Place the laminate into the mold, in this case one layer of camouflage carbon and 1 layer of 11.1oz carbon.
Place the processing materials, peel ply, flow media, resin feed and vacuum manifold in the mold.
Seal the mold shut with the vacuum bagging film and pull vacuum
