Hello everyone, happy new year ! I whish you many successful composite projects
I wonder what is the best way to build a box in CF, with 4 or 5 sides. The example I have in mind is a typical matches box, both the outer box (where you scratch the match, which is 4-sided) and the inner box (the drawer, where are the matches, which is 5-sided).
What kinds of moulds or plugs to prepare ? How to make perfect 90° angles ? how to bond sides ? Which process (Resin infusion ?) ? Does it require inner reinforcement (like a flat angle bracket) ? Do I need to make the 4-sided in one pass (with one cloth) ?
Thanks for sharing ideas guys
