What is the material layer used within the vacuum bag pressure system to absorb excess resin during curing called?

  1. Squeegee

  2. Bleeder

  3. Absorber

  4. Catcher

The correct answer is: Bleeder

The material layer used within the vacuum bag pressure system to absorb excess resin during curing is called a bleeder. A squeegee is a tool used to help evenly distribute resin on the surface of the material, not to absorb excess resin. An absorber refers to a material that absorbs moisture, not resin. A catcher is not a term used in relation to vacuum bag pressure systems.
