Laminate Sample #7: Epoxy Infused E-glass with Corecell Foam Core

[@seanthomas8266]

Appreciating the hose hose through the pleat method! Thank you for producing these reference videos - VERY HELPFUL!

[@ExploreComposites]

I'm glad they're helpful! The hose through the pleat thing is great for small to medium sized stuff - I just hate putting holes in the bag if I don't have to!

along with your data point I did a simple infusion test with Polyester resin without a core glass along, in my sloppy set up my supply manifold was straight or parallel to the glass stack the vacuum side was not, as the resin crossed the glass stack it began to follow the irregular shape of the vacuum side. i used the spiral wrap for the supply and vacuum manifolds,, I learned a good bit ! Thanks

Nothing like trying something out to get a feel for it. It's a pretty neat process but there are so many variables - it can be super frustrating!

@@ExploreComposites I had never seen a Vacuum break my guess is its purpose it to balance the vacuum line across the part?

Awesome videos, thanks! What is the infusion table surface? What kind of prep do you have to do to it?

[@ExploreComposites]

The table is carbon skins on aluminum honeycomb, primed. The surfacing film is an adhesive Teflon product sold by Taconic in NY, USA. Similar to Airtech Tooltec. Great stuff for flat or simple-shaped surfaces - and no release system to deal with. No prep - you just wipe it off. It does get scratched though and after a while it needs to be replaced. There's a post about it on the EC! site: explorecomposites.com/2019/10/02/adhesive-teflon-its-awesome/

So many mediums to use

[@GrantOakes]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but the kg/meter squared doesn't match with the ounce/square foot. 3.63kg/meter2 should equal 11.88oz./ft2.

[@ExploreComposites]

Grant you are absolutely right. I looked back at the spreadsheet and that was before I had both measurements in there - no idea where that 179 came from. Thank you for pointing out this mistake!
