Well the separate side panels can be infused with only consumables on one side that's a plus.Infusing on a male mold uses twice the consumables...
Yes your right,the panels will not bend very easy.Infusing the perforated sides from the inside leaves me with the flat fair surface on the...
What kind of pump did you get Steve?I was eyeing up the Robinair like you have but since reading your posts I'm unsure. Thanks,
Ah yes,thx Jorge.I have yet to try the perimeter feed with central vac.Sounds like its the way to go.
Thanks for that, I have yet to give it a try,busy making saw dust right now.
Thanks for your reply,as you can tell I have no experience with the terminology or building any molds. So far I've built a series of frames that...
So I've built a full size model of my boat from 1/8th hard board sheets.My plan is to now make a mold of the sides so I can infuse both sides of...
This subject has been touched on here and there so I thought it would make a good topic. I understand wrapping tyvek around the vac lets the air...
I have some plans for some parts in the future and I was just going to use plastic sheeting on the field areas and clear tape over the...
I would test run your boat first as this coating maybe a ***** to remove for repairs.
Tried a test on bare foam and was unable to get a perfect seal,my leak detector couldn't find it.The tape was sticking pretty good so I'll have to...
I guess it would be the glass that wraps around that gives it the stiffness.I'm still on the fence,Gunnels just kinda pop when there a nice wood...
Have you ever been in an 8' boat? If you fell out could you get back in ?Make yourself a roof rack and get a 12x48 or 14 x36 You're going to be...
Ok thanks I'll have to try a test.
The foam won't hold a vacuum?
Maybe this will help for those that haven't seen a boat like this. [IMG] Sides are high in the bow to crash rapids then dip a little to make...
What the heck are you talking about?Foam same size as wood?
Jorge some where back in all the pages around when you started.You infused right off of raw foam? I can't remember how things where done.Did you...
LOL!! Great tip with the sand,however there will be some curve to the sheer so something has to hold them while you try to bend them in.Nothing...
Well cured now and the tool side from laying on a sheet of plastic is perfict,to me anyway.peelply side is also nice.saving a layer of peelply and...
