Davro, knew you'd be up for a laugh! The British carbon bake off! Haha
Do you have a one piece alloy floor front to rear? Do you have a big enough surface to make a carbon version on? The biggest bit of glass I own is still being used, its bolted to the front of my house filling a gap. I think your carbon thingamabobs will be a big hit!
Hanaldo, You laser eyes are in good calibration! Yeah those flanges are about 2 or 3 inch I think. You're all forgetting who your talking to tho. I'm a tight fisted Scotsman! Every square cm of material must be acounted for!! lol I'm never in a hurry (not trying to make a profit like I know some of you guys are) so a little time saving a bit of carbon is ok for me. Also all those flanges you see in the bonnet pic are only for bolted connections to another part of the mould, not for laying up carbon onto. I also always envelope bag things now, I'm useless at doing vac bag pleats so gave up on that.
Scottracing, Brilliant! I never realised that. I'v just read the tech sheet for bagging material and that makes total sense. See excerpt below Maybe thats all Iv been doing wrong, I'll give that a try next time. This forum is great, I'd never have sussed that out.
So what is the pink bagging material like to use? Is it slightly stronger? Thinner? 50 micron instead of 80?
Vacfilm 200G is a hydrophilic material. Moisture and water act as plasticisers. The level of moisture content at time of useis therefore an important factor for successful performance. The higher the moisture content the more flexible theybecome. Conversely at lower moisture levels flexibility is limited.Do not store rolls vertically on their ends.
