Hi all,
This is my very first post...
I'm thinking of buying an autoclave. I have only received a few pictures so far.
It's 2 meter long and 0.9 m i diameter (inside). It's probably only approved for 3 bar.
50 years old and used for vacuum and steam threatment at a yarn factory, I think...
I will probably have to redo a lot to make it work.
Price: ~£500. What do you think.
PS I have no experience of prepreg and autoclave so far ;-)
Best Regards,
Magnus

Today I'm not doing any composites work at all. I understand that for most jobs an aotoclave is not at all necessary.
