​@@BamboobicycleclubOrg I am asking if I should apply the finish to the bamboo before building the frame or after. I guess it makes more sense to apply the finish after. For example I want a dark finish, so do I apply it only to the bamboo, or also the carbon, I imagine clearcoat goes on everything.

why not keeping the raw bamboo skin that is waterproof ?
@BamboobicycleclubOrg
@BamboobicycleclubOrg 3 ай бұрын
The outer skin of bamboo can deteriorate when exposed to outdoor environments due to factors like UV radiation, moisture, and temperature changes. Prolonged exposure can cause cracking, splitting, and discoloration. Bamboo is especially vulnerable to UV damage, which makes it brittle, and moisture, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Applying protective coatings such as varnish or sealers is crucial for preserving its integrity and appearance

I've built a bamboo frame with a frame maker from France but after a week of bike packing it started developing small cracks even though a two parts automotive finish had been applied. He "pre-cracked" the bamboo in an autoclave once the frame was assembled, then we filled the cracks that appeared after that step with colored epoxy. He also drilled small holes in each bamboo to "allow it to breath". Since it's already showing weaknesses after only a week of use I'd be curious to know if you think that the process that he followed makes sense.

@@alexismatelin820 bamboo can be tricky material to work with some canes will never develop crack and others will. It’s really down to the moisture levels in the bamboo and if it fluctuates too quickly then cracks can appear. I would recommend breaking the nodes inside of the bamboo to prevent trapped air from expanding. Any cracks filling is a good idea to prevent moisture. Did a single tube crack or more than 1?

You mentioned ratio for the clear coat. I could be mistaken, but most 2 part epoxy paints that have a base and a hardener that you mix, require a painter's grade respirator. Always read the label carefully and ask the paint supplier. At the very least, if you don't invest in a respirator, work outside or an extremely well ventilated workshop with an open wall.

When flax is woven it is called linen. Also the threads used to make woven cloth is a linen thread. Flax is the plant, its fibres are flax fibres. I think the sort of weave that is used to weave the cloth also makes a difference. plain weave, twill, etc. etc. A woven cloth always has two directions: warp and weft. A single weave doesn't exist. What you have there is: 1. a twill weave (has diagonal lines but is two directional) and 2. a plain weave, but it could also be a satin weave because it is so shiny.
