I can't remember who said it, but one of our forum members puts the hemp through a couple of cycles in the dryer to make it more absorb more of the epoxy (I don't really understand the fancy part) but it frays it up a little bit and makes it better able to suck of the epoxy in my understanding, how many layers is your hemp? What did you use for compression? I know if you're vary careful with CF you can compress the layers with reversed electrical tape punctured to let the excess epoxy bleed off.. not sure anything shy of vacuum bagging would hold up for long with the hemp though, mind you I could easily be wrong but nothing I know of will do it like that.
