Hi

I was wondering if it was possible to dissolve the PU 80 low density model board in some solvents after having laminated a CF cloth around it ?

The idea would be to
- cut the foam to the target shape
- apply the epoxy/CF cloth
- dip the hole thing in a jar of acetone / other solvent



Thanks for your help !
P.

No worries the forum is there for that Smile and Thanks Matt for your help.

Baja I thought at using diolen but it seems quite difficult to sand/polish and obtain a nice finish. My process needs that I sand the fiber then polish, and I quite like this effect (in opposition to a real glossy surface).

Cheers guys!

Hi Baja,

No need to apologise; I guessed as much and that is what the forum is here for after all.

Pierre, regarding your material choice, diolen will be problematic if your surface sanding will break down into the diolen. If it won't and it's just the edges then I think that, allthough a little more frustrating at the edges, you woud be able to work with it. If you think you'll sand down into the diolen on the surface then stay well clear, it would be very hard to deal with in this sense.

Best regards, Matt

                     Yeah, polystyrenes come in clear as well as expanded forms.
