Laminate might be 6 layers 400g carbon each side of a 4mm soric (maybe 2 of 4mm soric in areas) to make a thicker stiffer mould. Anybody tried using a soric mould like this? I know there maybe be air left within the soric cells but it all very well supported? Heat/expansion?? Or should I use a few layers of flow mesh or shade cloth and leave in the centre of the laminate? This would mean no air in the laminate leaving a core of resin/plastic mesh.

Is this for one of your boat hull moulds? Interested to know what you're doing that needs such a mould!

This mould is for a yacht boom, it's 2.5m long and 400mm wide including flanges but only a 25mm high profile so it's kind of long and flat like. I wanted a core for stiffness and carbon for a stable oven mould. The 12k 400g is cheap anyway so 4 or 5 layers each side wont break the bank. This part was from temp moulds and now we will make better moulds. Fastacraft Facebook page Edited 4 Years Ago by Fasta
