I' m currently making tensile test samples for Unidirectional (UD) Prepreg. Therefore, I need to fabricate a 1mm thick unidirectional sheet. I used two glass plates that sandwich five layers of UD Prepreg and are vacuum baged and cured in the Prepreg oven at 100°C (see attached pic). The two glass plates were treated with six layers of Easylease coated with a 20min. separation between each coating. However, I still have the problem that the Prepreg sticks to the glass. I cannot manage to take the Prepreg sheet off the glass without braking the glass or the prepreg sheet (see attached pic). I tired this several times already. Any Idea how to resolve this? What about trying to use PVA or wax as a release agent, instead of Easylease?Looking forward fot some helpKind regardsPier
+x Hanaldo - 1/1/2018 1:16:52 PMHow are you applying the Easylease? Describe your process when you apply it, ie. Do you soak a cloth and wipe it on? Do you wipe it off at all after applying it, or are you buffing the surface at all after application? Are you cleaning the glass well prior to application? How old is the Easylease, and more importantly - how has it been stored? It's very unlikely that it has expired unless it hasn't been stored very well. But it's possible.Wax and PVA won't work for pre-preg, at least not the typical stuff. You can get high temperature release wax, but I haven't used any personally. Really there shouldn't be any need, the Easylease should be the better product and it should be working - better to work out what is going wrong.
