Hi, I want to make 2 front wings in carbon for my 106 Maxi and I have the original items to make a mould from.

I have no doubt if I had all the stuff in front of me I could make a panel I would be happy with but I get

totally lost when I try to figure out what exactly I need to make a mould and what I need to make the carbon

panel and how much of everything is required.

I am not looking for a smooth show finish as the panels will be painted and covered in sign wrighting so

do I need to vacuum bag them of is there another way around it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Great info there. I will order a Uni-mould kit in about 3 weeks when I am working in Carlisle (I am from Ireland)

that way I will be able to get the MEKP with the kit and save on some postage at the same time.

If my moulds turn out good I will then go ahead and order the Kevlar etc.

Just one more question, for a deep wide arch wing, will the vacuum bag be able to pull the carbon into all the corners

etc or is there a way I can stick all the kevlar in place before I bag? Also will the resin flow to all the corners?

Hi Dave,

(Late) answer to those couple of questions you raised..

for a deep wide arch wing, will the vacuum bag be able to pull the carbon into all the cornersetc or is there a way I can stick all the kevlar in place before I bag?

The vacuum bag should never be relied on to pull the reinforcement into the corners - this is a recipe for bridging problems. Spray adhesives are the way to do it in this case, prior to bagging. This is an ongoing saga at the moment but contact me when you're ordering and I'll talk you through the latest news/best options.

Best regards, Matt
