Infusing the materials for the Upper Folding Strut Recess Sides

Ten layers of 18oz Fiberglass to make the 4-5mm thick Upper Folding Strut Recess Sides and some reinforcement pieces. This layup measures 52" x 92" (1320mm x 2336mm) and took almost 90 minutes to completely infuse.

If my calculations are correct, it comes to about 41.5lbs (18.82kg) of Fabric and 24lbs (10.9kg) of Resin.

Some of that resin weight will be removed along with the consumables leaving me with about a 55% Fabric to Resin ratio?  I'm pretty sure I could have pulled more resin out, but I was a afraid to end up with it being too dry, so I erred a bit on the heavy side.
