Hi all. I’d like to show you my lasts work about composites.

I’m  very found in Hydrofoil kiteboarding, so in the past 10 years I do some models Smile

This is the last one. The idea was to build something different  from the models on the market, an hydrofoil easy, stable, and possibly fast.

 Some pictures:

In this video you can see the first trials.

Your video shows you pouring what looks like a resin over the board, and then cuts to you peeling off a film. If this is as easy as it looks, I want in!                                                     


Thanks,

It isn't so easy but it take only some triks and a lot of patience.

You finish the surface with peel ply in order to hawe a rough but flat surface. After that you put some resin (the same you are using for the project) and cover with a film. You can use a HDPE film (High Density Polyethylene ) for curved surfaces, or a 0,20 mm thickness PET sheet (Plyethylene terephthalate). I used HDPE for te top of the board and PET for the bottom. The PET as a surface more shiny than HDPE but need a small amount of wax.
You put everithing in a vacuum bag, be carefully that the bag didn't generate some fold. Now starts an orrible work..... you start from the center of your piece and push trought the bag the excess of resin and EVERY bubble..Blink 
You can use a small plastic plate.
It's seems stupid but, , if it is well done (you need some experience), the results are ok (I think that in the video you can appreciate the surfaces). This method didn't work if you have complex surfaces.
