Hi guys,

First of all, I want to say sorry that I use imperial measurements not metric...

I have some .125" (approx 3.1mm) pvc closed foam that I want to use a core in trunk lid mold.  This may be the same as the 5mm EC advertises.  It is not perforated and I am wondering if need to perforate it myself before it is usedin a vacuum bagging application.  I do not understand how the excess resin will be removed if it is not. Is this a valid concern, or can I vacuum bag or infuse without added work (use as is)? 

I have also have heard of people pressing chicken wire into the pvc to help with infusion.  Is this valid?

Hi,

I want to use EasyCell 75 PVC foam, to make a sandwich panel using a vacuum bag process and I would like to know what is the max curing temperature that can withstand the foam.

I have heard that upper and lower skins can be made in advance and then bonded together with the core.
Is it better use an epoxi resin or should I use an adhesive?

Which type of adhesive should I use for this PVC foam?

Regards!
