hi guys,
it's been a while but I have been quit busy for school and so on...
So I have all my materials... I have a 1m² Carbon fiber 2/2 twill 3k 195g
1m² Black Diolen 2/2 twill 200g
1m² Kevlar 2/2 twill 300g
1m² Carbon fiber 2/2 twill 12k 450g
IN2 Epoxy infusion resin 1kg SLOW
Clear Epoxy gelcoat 1.2kg
the mould has been sanded and pollished so the part is ready for infusion.
I would like some advice of you guys for the lay-up and where I should realy take care of... (I've doing some infusion and similar projects but this helmet looks quit a difficult shape)
this is how i guess i will do it:
1. mouldrelease the mould
2. apply the gelcoat
3. after a few hours the gelcoat will get tacky?! (it's the first time I work with the Easycomposites gelcoat)
4. apply one layer of Carbon 200g
5. apply one layer of Black diolen
6. apply one layer 300g Kevlar
7. apply one layer 450g Carbon
Some more questions and remarks
-Will this be strong enough?! (must be quit stiff) the problem is I only have 1m² of each material and the pattern of the helmet is around 50cm-60cm (egg chaped)
-I will have some leftovers that I will use to reinforce on the important spots.
-I have some pvc core material 2mm I could use, would it be good to add this?!
-I also have the backplate of the helmet (small part attached on the back of the head) that I will do with wet-laminating and vacubag... can I use Infusin Epoxy for this?!
-Whats the best Allignment of degrees between the layer?
I hope some of you could answer my questions
