The Infusion Process
Putting resin infusion into practice is often not straightforward or appropriate for every
component. The process has a reputation for potential unpredictability – mainly in the
resin flow, and the susceptibility of the system to failure generally caused by vacuum
integrity. The infusion methods detailed here refer to the side-to-side or centre-out
sweep infusion. This is not the only working method and not necessarily the best method
for some components but serves as a good working example of the methodology to
develop a successful infusion process.
