Hi guys,

Here is standard test method videos, if you are interest.

Carbon fiber tensile test , twill carbon epoxy, 0.85 mm thickness, manufactured with vacuum bagging.

Sandwich composite bending test , carbon fiber epoxy facesheet and PVC core, 9.5 mm thickness, manufactured with infusion.

I can't watch those at the moment due to tight data limits, but they sound useful. What would really be good though would be to have a thread stuck at the top of one of these forums where people can put their test results up, spelling out the layers and types of cloth they used, the core (if any), the epoxy, the build method (including any curing) and then the strength test results. This could save people a lot of expense by allowing them to home in more quickly on the right materials and build methods for their intended project. They'd still need to do their own testing, but it would substantially narrow down the range of work they need to do.
