Default Problem wetting out fabric

I am having trouble getting some kevlar to wet out with west systems epoxy, is there any tricks to make the fabric accept the resin better. I have heard some fabrics have a "sizing" on them, would it help to wash the kevlar before trying to lay it up?


any help would be appreciated

P.S. just to let you guys know why I'm messing around with this Kevlar, I basically have a large supply of this type of Kevlar and I am trying to get some use out of it.

I know there are better fabrics to use, but when you have it free you want to use what you got!!
