Hi all,

I have just purchased my first kits from easy composites. Thanks guys for the training videos, they are very simple to understand.

In making my first part I have experienced a couple of issue and would like to understand where I went wrong.

1.  I used MDF to make my mould, I apply several coats of wax and PVA release agent but could not release the MDF part from the mould, what did I do wrong, did I need to spray the MDF part first?

2.  I had some issues with moulding my carbon part due to the tight spaces and complexity of the part, would I be better off using the vacum method for this part?

Many thanks,




Matt

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the quick response.

I did add serveral layers of watered down PVA to try and seal the part.... I now know this is not the way forward.

OK I will use 2 pack filler primer, I have the required equipment in my garage for this so no extra expense for this. 

I think I will go the vacum route as I have a few other parts that I want to make, they to will be complex shapes.

Thanks again.

Matt

PS I will post the results once I have finsihed the part
