In this tutorial In show and explain you some thoughts I had while doing an VARTM infusion with Textreme Carbonfiber and epoxy resin. As you can see in the video it was difficult to lay down the textreme in one piece but found my way around creating a nice pinhole free surface. The infusion took around 10 minutes and the finished part weighs around 0,17 kg. As an extra I have to say this was a cosmetic part, not structural. If you are looking for a structural part you will need to add more layers! The part was polished at the end to bring up that high gloss
