In some of the bulkheads we tried to laminate by infusion method. It seemed interesting but for sure it's more complicate than than manual and vaccum bag lamination.
We took one bulkhead as a test. If the results were good, we would try to laminate part of the hull this way. We made everything ready and started. The process is quick, no much time to correct mistakes. And it was exactelly what happened.
The resin and hardenner misture was too thick, and did'nt flow the way we expected. Not very good but we managed to save the bulkhead.
Everything was almost perfect until now. But that's OK, the difficulties would happen at some point.
