Hi,
After watching ALL of your tutorials and reading forums for about a month now I am going to make a petrol tank for the bike. Along with the fenders and belly pan.
I have decided that the tank mould needs to be 5 part, so as to avoid mechanical lock. the base would be one part and the main curvy bits would need a four part mould. I would then glue the base to the top.
My question is this; Would tack spray be enough to hold the five layers of CF,Kev in place where the mould almost turns in on itself?
(I would like to use the infusion method so the CF and Kev would be laid in dry at first, so I was hoping the tack spray would do the trick)
The top part of the mould (the four part) has a section where there is a flat flange surface that I need to glue the base to when finished.
Naturally for some sound advice I would buy all consumables and infusion kit from here
Thanks in advance
