Good morning to everyone!
Im Mr. Andrea from Italy, I'man aerospace engineer student at LaSapienza University in Rome. I'm not newwith the composite, but I decided to upgrade all my systems for infusionprocess. I bought almost every things from EasyComposite in the last 2weeks.
I'm making a special parts ofa motorbike with colored carbon fiber. I had several problems:
1) The first time I waste 2mold because I wasn't able to de-mould it. The surface was seriously damaged.The pictures speaks more than many words. I think it was the wax, because withPVA I don't had problems.
- I will post thename/picture of the wax later…
- I put the mould immediatelyin the oven at 60°C, without waiting the gel time at 20°C. I cure it for 3,5hbefore de-mould.
- We used 3M Super77 as spray adhesive
2) I decided touse PVA because I always de-mould any complex parts without issue. But in thiscase is always really hard to de-mould the parts; probably because we use sprayadhesive??
3) I have a lotof difficult to remove the mesh and the peel ply from the surface. Do you anyadvice of how to place it?
- The vacuum pressure is 0,8bar. I use 20lt vacuum can (I had it).
- The mould wasmade by vinylester resin
- The mould’sgelcoat is polyester
- We use Forex asflange’s material
- The mouldsurface is not perfect, I posted some pictures.
- I followed theMatt Youtube’s video on resin infusion.
I hope that myproblems was easy to solve, because I need to bring this part to a motorbike’sfair.
Thank you toeveryone!!
