Resin Infusion How To by Rock West Composites

Need to infuse a part but lack the training? In this video John and Mike take a deep dive into illustrating how to make a composite carbon fiber plate. Without resin, all carbon fiber is is a very flexible, loosely woven fabric. In order to create a hard composite, you'll need the tips and tricks John provides in this in-depth how-to.
