It's dye-sublimated graphics on some flag material. It's very porous and in fact works brilliantly as a flow mesh.

We put the board in the bag today, but didn't have enough resin, so it's only going to happen later this week..

thanks, but all credit goes to Kerry - it's his setup.

Funny thing how life works out though... we didn't do the infusion on the weekend because of a lack of resin. As it turns out, it's just as well because the left side of the board's foam is overlapping the abs rail by a tiny amount, but enough to make a bulge - if you look on the left side you'll be able to spot it in the photo, right underneath the text that says "hoff prototype". :o

I'm just relieved we picked this up before we do the infusion.

Hey man, this is a triax on bottom? 300-400?

What's the FG plan for top?

We finished the infusion about an hour ago. So far it seems successful, but we'll only know for sure once we take it out of the bag. Some pictures..

Yes,

looks good!

I would expect a bit on a heavy side tho, >=3kg? Would be interesting to know the resin intake, is it 1:1?
