Hi Mike,
      Thanks for the numbers.  Resin content is in the low 20's (by weight) very impressive, the best I have done was in the mid 30's (and I thought I was doing well).
 
Cheers,
Kurt

Hi Kurt.

Two pieces of tow:

65mg w/o resin, 85mg after.
73mg w/o, 94mg after.

Tow is pulled through epoxy, then squeezed between thumb/finger three times to make sure it is well-coated. Then laid onto two layers of paper towel and inserted into vacuum bag. Set timer for 15 minutes vacuum, measured at ~21". Suspect a leak in the bag as it has pulled down to 24" previously. Might be better to do five minutes, then change the paper towel and pull another five minutes vacuum as epoxy lines are quite evident in paper towel.

Regards.
Mike Kirda
