layering some carbon onto the lid after coating it would help with filling up the top

Must be satisfying making your own,nice job.

It is very satisfying when you get a good one after many failed attempts thats for sure!

I watched your video and got some great tips for making forged carbon. I was having a really hard time releasing types. However, when I compressed the cling wrap I use in the kitchen by putting it in a mold, I was able to release it surprisingly smoothly. No tools were required and it could be opened by hand. I believe this is the smoothest method.

That is an interesting method release method. Did you have any melting of the cling wrap from teh generated heat from the curing resin?

@user-kw6ps9jc1h 4 ай бұрын

It didn't melt. Instead, the plastic wrap stuck to it and I had a hard time removing it.

PVA works very well.. I cant belive that

Yes, it's also good for covering large moulds and in theory can be sprayed.

If you wrap the aluminum insert with fiberglass veil cloth, there's far less likelihood for corrosion. Also, why not knurl the insert before you cast it?

First of all Congratulations for the great work. Just one thing. You mention on the video that you used 62g of fiber and 80g of resin. Resin should be around 40% in weight but you seem to have used much more. Is it because the rest got wasted leaking from the mould during compression?

@kyushaspeed 4 ай бұрын

Correct. The additional resin is to compensate for wastage during compression.

Can you do a guide on how to make compression moulds? I find no one wants to show this

@kyushaspeed Жыл бұрын

As in a tutorial to design a mould in CAD?

@Flyingdinosaur69 8 ай бұрын

When you say 80g of resin is that inclusive of the hardner? and what speed hardener from AMPRO are you using?

@hex1795 5 ай бұрын

Awesome video, roughly how much did you pay for all the materials, excluding the mould

@kyushaspeed 4 ай бұрын

I think around $200AUD but this was for larger quantities than was needed for one casting. I suspect costs could be reduced if smaller quantity enough for one cast.
