hi all
I make model airplanes last year i learnt a lot of carbonfibre in a company where they make real airplane parts. And now i will build my first carbon model plane. I don't have experience in making carbonfibre parts and I also don't have a vacuum table (i have tried to make it but it failed) but i have made a wooden mdf mold and i'm gonna make a plaster female mold of the male wooden mold. Then i can put the woven carbon into the plaster mold en add the epoxy resin and then I can compress these two molds together to create the effect of the vacuum.
In attachement you can find my wooden mold.
I have a few questions:
Which epoxy resin is the best to use for these parts to dry at 20°C because i don't have an autoclave? I found on the site the easy-lease chemical release agent works this product also on plaster and the mdf mold? And is it a qood idea to do it with the 2 molds?
thank you for your time and sorry for my bad English
