Ya, I think it might be better without the reinforcement.
I really want to try vacuum infusion and I think it may require a bit more vacuum then simply vacuum bagging which is why I was looking for something thicker/tougher then 6 mil poly, but still reasonably priced.
I would start (vacuum infusion) with some VERY simple/small parts/shapes.
Any suggestions for cheap vacuum infusion/bagging materials.
For instance, I ran into a sailor that built his own cat. He said he used nylon fabric from a local fabric store for a separator sheet and that it worked well.
Anyone?

Regards,
Extemp.
