It can delam
It's not easy to work with - fuzzes when sanded - use as an underlayer and overlay glass cloth on top.
Stump did a couple a few weeks ago.

Red, interesting you report delam cautions when Innegra site touts "superior grip in composites." Red, epoxy or poly resin? When overlaying with glass cloth did you apply seperately or go for both layers at same time? What substrate? Innegra has been looking good, delam is a major strike against it.

Just done an innegra hand lam on the deck under carbon red's right it can delam but only in small amt's but not a major prob def. suited to vac bagging

Frank,
Can't remember where I heard about the delam issue.
Both layers lammed together (i'm not good enough to do this, but my glasser is)
on a PUPE board, but EPC/epoxy alledgedly works fine too.

Innegra is made for hand layups - it is meant to stay puffed up. Vac bagging apparently squeezes it too flat so it loses strength.

does that mean it carries more resin than normal glass ?

red i never said it wasn't meant for hand jobs it's just better suited for bagging cause it doesn't like to wrap around hard edges and it doesn't saturate as good as glass or carbon
and kev it does need more resin
there is another material that is harder than innegra. pic att. not sure of it's name yet

album_showpage.php?pic_id=23365
album_showpage.php?pic_id=23364

behaves the same as innegra needs more resin and dont want to bend around rails it works best as an insert say on decks or with bagging
