I am going to vacuum bag a Carbon Fiber bar stool, using IN2 Resin, Soric and Carbon Fiber Tape at the edges of the Soric, like in the How To...Bonnet/Hood video. The stool will be like a 16-inch wide ribbon with a profile that looks like a "Z", and a Soric core. The total length is approximately 65-inches. I am in the US, and I cannot find Infusion Grade Spray Tack anywhere.

What method/s (other than Spray Tack) could I use to hold the Carbon Fiber Tape, Cloth, and Soric in place?

Many Thanks!

Unfortunately they will not ship anything to Denmark ...

I'll have to find a way to get it shipped here ...


The "homemade" spray tack is probably by far the most economical way, and not a problem if you have a production of larger parts running.
You can make up a batch of the spray tack, and use it up, then clean the bottle ...

When you're only making a few smaller parts a month/week, then the spray tack in a can is a lot more convenient...

I've used ordinary 3M spray on the intermediate layers, where it makes no diffference, since the spray tack is not seen, but I am a bit worried if it impairs the final strength of the laminate.

The "homemade spray tack" is a bit inconvenient here, since you need to leave it to cure to a tack...  which means hours between layers, and new batches of spray made up ...
(unless it works if you put the mixture in the freezer ??)
