Fiberglass Vacuum Bagging Technique...Resin Infusion

Is anyone using the new fiberglass process called Resin Infusion?

This is the process where you lay all of your fiber reinforcements down dry
(along with core material if required), then seal inside a vacuum bag (which
you can take all the time you want, no need to hurry as in normal vacuum
bagging proceedures), and then inject the resin which wets out the
reinforcements.

I have been using this process on my homebuilt sailboat (Core Cell foam
core, epoxy resin) and I am having terrific results. Resin ratios of 30 to
35% by weight. And best of all, no mess or fumes, sticky rollers, paint
brushes, etc. Check out my web site at
http://home.houston.rr.com/pieceofwork/ . I learned much of my fiberglass
techniques from the aircraft homebuilders web sites, so maybe I can return
the favor.

If you are ever in Houston, stop by.
