Hi All!


Currently I'm working on a project of "customizing" an 1980-something BMW K75 "flying Brick" into something a bit more "interesting"

This among a lot of other things means removing most of the extremely heavy plastics on the "donor" and skinning a lot of the plastic that goes back on--

(XCR Coating Resin makes this almost a pleasure, even though I'm not very fond of skinning )

The headlight of the old "Rubber Cow" / "GummiKuh" is replaced by a new item from a GS650 .. an assymetric design with a big dipped beam light and a smaller high beam.

To match this I made a plug for a new short / stubby windscreen (usual methods: High Density foam, Pattern fill etc .. ) shaped by hand ..

From this I made my second Unimould- mould ..  Which went very well...



Infusion ..



First part out of the Mould .. Stripes slipped .. bummer ..  "Orange" kevlar becomes much darker in colour when in resin ...



As can be seen -- print through from the 3D core .. and some pinholing at the edge of the core .. and the blasted tow stripe moved ...

Next one will be without 3D core (not at all needed, just in there to give it a try .. )

Stack is 200 gsm pw ... 2x325 gsm Satin weave .. crossed .. 3D core between the 325 Satin weaves .. Stripes are EC "orange Kevlar mix" and flat tow ..
Notice that the Orange Kevlar is not at 45 Degrees .. ??? ...

"Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW!

Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
