    Just a couple recommendations to give you a better product, instead of 77 you could mix up some of the same epoxy and thin it down with MEK or MPK, this will give you the same amount of tack and will be the base adhesive so there should be an chance of reaction. Also I’d always wear gloves the oils from your fingers can cause disbands. Just suggestions, I’ve been in the aerospace industry for 13 years making carbon parts

  • @RyanHouston
    @RyanHouston 5 лет назад +1

    VARTM tip: you had it all (nearly)correct, but you infused backwards. If you pull vacuum from the outer edge, and infuse at the center, then you will achieve the same results minus the resin going into the fittings, trap etc. This shape is similar to a boat hull, so if you research the VARTM process on boats you'll see what I mean.

    Just a heads up, but a faster/easier approach to gum taping is to apply the tape to your bag first, then the mold. That way you'll have less tape seams and less chances of leaks.

      @@StreetBandito No prob boys! Love watching the vids. Another freebie is that you can apply the PVA with a rag too, which prevents it getting all over your shop and then you just have a thin tape line for your seal. All about time saving and consumables reduction. I work at an aerospace company with composites. So, if you ever have any questions hit me up. Also, if you plan on making a number of copies of something, check out Smooth-On videos on here for their silicone reusable bags. They're tight AF.

    one thing you can do to help reduce the amount of air bubbles in the infusion process is putting the resin after it is mixed into a vacuum chamber for a bit to get the bubbles out. Also, when putting the vacuum bag down, when making the pleats, run the bag up one side, fold over a bit of the tape to overlap a bit. You will get a better seal that way.

  • @ryanwolfe911

    I always like to stop the resin before it gets to the resin trap, otherwise you have a hell of a mess to clean up. And Tim, if you want even better looking parts and easier separation from the mold, try wet sanding and buffing your mold to a mirror shine. Makes a huge difference in final part appearance.
