I use Hexicon 04908 infusion epoxy, viscosity about 120 mPa.s and about euro 10,-- per kg.
Don't know if this is available in US
Great stuff, but needs post curing.

Does anyone have any sources for Infusion epoxy here in the US?  What I'm currently using is...

 

http://www.uscomposites.com/epoxy.html#epoxhard

 

In the small quantities I use (so far) a kit is about $69 for 1.5 Gal (5.7 Liters).  This epoxy is not labeled for Infusion.  The resin has a viscosity of 600 cps.  The hardener has a lower viscosity, but I haven't been able to get a number from them.  Depending on which hardener, the pot life can be up to 30-35 minutes at 80F (27C).  It does not require an elevated post cure.

 

I just checked MAS which is marketed as an Infusion epoxy.  It also has a viscosity of 600 cps for the resin and 250 for the hardener.  Which seems to be the same... except their price seems closer to $180 for the same 1.5 Gal kit.

 

Does anyone have anything... of lower viscosity or generally easier to use for infusion and/or lower cost?
