Carbon punt update - June 2019
Well, I have finally got some time and space to put together the mould for the hull.
I am constructing the plug in plywood, which will then be coated in perspex.
Some questions for you all:
1. I am going to use the Uni-Mould kit to cast the mould off the plug. Is the 3.3sqm a maximum area this will cope with, or might it be streched to 3.5sqm?
2. What thickness should I make the mould (considering that the plug is 4m x 0.6m x 0.25m)?
3. Can I use wooden slats in the mould to strengthen it, and bind these in with resin?
4. I will be infusing the hull, and need to put some intricate parts in at the same time. I was thinking of placing a silicone former over these to stop the voids from being filled with resin - has anyone had any experience of this?
My website should be updated soon as well
Thanks in advance
