Hi everyone,

So I've just finished my new tutorial and thought it would be helpful to share it with all of you on here.

It's a full lenght tutorial on how to work with the prepreg of EasyComposites.

Feel free to add some remarks, tips & tricks

Hi Matthieu,

Good video but you really need to wear nitrile gloves when handling the prepreg i.e. when you're cutting it etc... you'll end up with an epoxy reaction, I've seen it happen to a few people, one couldn't even be in the same room without coming out in a rash.

There's a couple of things with the handling that caught my eye such as you don't defrost the prepreg before taking it out of the bag, this can introduce moisture to the surface (dew) and wreak the parts and I know you don't have much there but when you are using rolls of the stuff you need to ensure you can calculate the remaining outlife correctly.

The resins used in prepreg can be pretty hot stuff so you need to be in some cases even more careful than handling plain epoxy laminating resin.

Hi and welcome to the forum Chris Wink 

Thanks for the tips and hints! while making the video I've noticed my mistake by not defrosting it before opening the bag.
I didn't know you had to wear gloves while cutting the prepreg without direct contact with the epoxy and so on, I'll keep that in mind for my future video's and let everyone know it's important to do so, because I always try, and think it's very important, to work as safe as possible with those composite materials!
