Great video thank you! Question, the two part polyurethane paint you applied first in lieu of gel coat. how is the adhesion to the fiberglass? will this work equally well with epoxy resin or polyester resin?
@@3DTechMaquetes Thanks for the video, lots of useful techniques shown :) One question, do you wait for the silicone to cure or do you apply the vacuum while it's still wet?
only issue I see here is you should have cut the breather cloth larger so that it goes all the way to the tube inlet. No point of the breather if the vacuum gets trapped/stuck by the bag at the inlet.
interessante. usando pintura polyester com resina epoxy. imaginei que fosse rolar uma delaminacao no desmolde. vou comecar a aplicar verniz no molde antes de fazer infusao de carbono agora pra ver o que da. obrigado pela dica.
He painted the mold, not the fiberglass part. A mold could be painted with any kind of glossy surface finish, doesn't really matter. A gelcoat would be used as the first layer in a fiberglass or carbon layup, as gelcoats can dry without exposure to atmosphere.. When you remove the finished mold, the gelcoat would be the outside layer that you see...
What you can do is a hot box. I have done one several years ago and set the temperature to 55 Celsius degrees. You should see the resin specs, but for hobby I beleive it does not make much difference.
I think a mold with a mold flange and use of vacuum bag tape or butyl tape is better for larger parts and probably more efficient as far as materials go. While the tape may cost more than silicone, it's more effective for creating pleates without making a mess with the silicone and potentially getting it on the mold or the part.
I have a question. So when you are removing the air from the mold. You check the vacuum gauge for the vacuum created. When you reach the desired vacuum how do you close the vacuum bag hose ensuring that air doesn't enter into the bag?
@@3DTechMaquetes I agree butyl tape is probably better in a number of ways, but it can also be a pain in the butt sometimes to find and fix leaks, especially if the tape has gotten dirty or been exposed to resin...
This video helped me understanding the usage of the peel ply, breather, or bleeder, and the vacuum bagging. Thanks a lot.
Thanks mate, that was super helpful and informative.
Very well made.
Brilliant demonstration. Thank you.
great video, thanks!
how much weight did this particular part ended up with?

HI. How much vacuum is needed?
Outstanding ! Always wonder how peel ply could ever be removed ..resin leaks through pores, join up and locks it down ! O_o
What kind vacuum you use sir?
What kind of plastic is the bag made of?
peel ply substitute was it or a dedicated pee-ply fabric???
or just simply a polypropylene mesh?
Bravo,bel lavoro!
Hi, I want to know the type of silicone.
This video was helpful to me.
Thanks
Thanks for watching. You can use any kind of silicone found in stores like Home Depot.
@@3DTechMaquetes thank you for your advice.

I apply while still wet. Thank you!
What about bagging a positive or modeless forms?
Is it possible to re-use the bag?
Yes, it is!
Did you spray the 2 part polyurethane paint?
That's right
How to decide what vacuum pressure should be applied
the more the merrier
What breather fabric should I use?
If I dont have the resin microballoons,what other I can use to avoid resin running out .
You may use baby powder
only issue I see here is you should have cut the breather cloth larger so that it goes all the way to the tube inlet. No point of the breather if the vacuum gets trapped/stuck by the bag at the inlet.
Thank you for your advice
@@3DTechHobby looks like the vacuum did pretty well regardless though!

Na verdade o verniz é PU. Eu nunca pintei poliéster no molde, mas não imagino que possa causar problemas.
Hi can you tell how much vacuum you need? Do you need near perfect vacuum or os like -0.4bars enough?
I think that for this kind of application, 0,4bar is more than enough
as much as you can get really... the more the better your composites ratio will be to a certain point.
What kind of paint is that? Do you mean gelcoat? Is it capable to withstand with epoxy exotherm?
I used PU paint. The same used to paint cars. I had no problems with the heat.

what vacuum pump do you use? thanks
It is a 5cf/m. More than enough
@@3DTechMaquetes brand name? Where I can buy it? Fitting size/thread pitch? Thanks
@@zyx296 I live in Brazil, so I think that will not be available to you
@@3DTechMaquetes dang okay 😣🥺
@@3DTechMaquetes could you please tell pressure applied
Oi! Você espera o silicone secar ?
Não, deixo ele mole
@@3DTechMaquetes Obrigado!
What is your mold made of?
Polyester resin and fiberglass
Hi, could you do this exact same prosess for making of carbon fiber? And which type of carbonfiber should I use? Can i also use resin?
Thanks
Yes, the same process. The carbon fiber must be a 90/90 weave, a bidirectional cloth.
@@3DTechMaquetes okay, so u dont need an oven? Im looking at easycomposites.co.uk, and wondering what i need to buy

O ponto de sucção deveria ser posicionado sobre o breather
Não dá pra ver muito bem, mas tem uma mangueira que vai até o tecido.

how many hours after vacuuming?
It depends on the resin, but usually 2 or 3 hours is enough
@@3DTechMaquetes thanks ...

Wow cute

I'd like to know how to manufacture a geometry that isn't symemetric but it need two shells, it is a wind turbine blade
Why are you using silicon. Takes more time to go off that the resin. Use butyl tape. Sticks instantly. Doesnt leak air
But I do not wait the silicon to cure.
