I have just purchased a small cnc router which I plan to use (amongst other things) to make some of my future patterns, the router has a working area of 275mm X 385mm 60mm which will be fine for some of my smaller projects, but for larger projects I was thinking of building the patterns in sections with indexing lugs and bonding the sections together before sanding and sealing. Is this a suitable method? If so what would be a suitable adhesive to use? Ill be using EB700 High Temperature Epoxy Tooling Board.

Many thanks

Hi Ryan,

For that kind of density , you can use a simple laminating epoxy such as our  EL2 Epoxy Laminating Resin. if you wanted to do some sanding and shaping once joined, you could add a small amount of glass bubbles to try and match the densities so you don't get a resin hard line. when sanding.  However if it is just bonding then you won't need this.

Thanks Warren, that answers my question nicely.
