Vaccuum Infusion Table

Hi everyone,

Ive got a project im trying that im trying to figure out the best way to construct it. I have to create a 14' x 14' infusion table that i can bend both convex 6" and concave 6" from the center of the table. I was thinking a thin layup with tooling resin and gel coat at 1st but im afraid of it fatiguing and cracking because of the bending it will be enduring. I would rather find an alternative to this such as some kind of sheet good or aluminum, but i cant seem to find anything in 14' or greater widths?.. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appriciated.

Doug

A sheet of steel? Most truck sides are made on a steel mould.

Just be careful with welding: I would rather glue fittings on the backside.

Formica or plexiglass will work.
