: Sounds like a lot of your bases are covered. I put my plastic jugs

: degrees. That temperature would lower the viscosity and perhaps
: help. You would have to experiment on a few scraps to see and
: that's the only thing you can do at this point.
A ridged (I think that's a word) roller will help get the air out, and push the resin into the cloth. Keeping the cloth clean and dry also avoids having areas where the resin won't soak easily into the cloth. Did what you showed in the pic happen all over, or only in certain spots?
