Thanks that's actually what I've expected to hear:( That opens a question of tiny holes drilled everywhere. I think I've posted this long time ago: http://boardbuilders-forum.1077691.n5.nabble.com/file/n891/carved3.jpg The core is perforated. Why is that? Other than gluing a topsheet, there is no re...

Hi mate,

I have probably half a trail one PMC790 here in Perth.

No use for it atm. It's filled with nitrogen. Let me know...

Are you pressing your boards upside down? What material is your topsheet? Is it the base or top of your board that is concave? I do it in two steps, the top first and than the bottom next day or so. The topsheet is Scorp Duraclear corona treated gloss. I do have some Crown Durasurf mat, 33cm wide i...

Do you have a pressure gauge on your pump? Sure you're getting a good strong vacuum? Should always be using a breather when vacuum bagging, unless you're doing resin infusion. I don't think lack of breather is causing your issue, but it's still something you might do differently. Thanks I do have a...

Thanks mm,

This "dry" smaller spots are of my concern.

Tried that, the same.

Used a lighter FG cloth as well, the same.

Hi gents I am after some advice about a topsheet. This is my third attempt to build a kite board with a topsheet and vac. Not happy with a results. Whatever I do, I get some dry looking spots under the topsheet (well, bottom sheet actually). The FG is 200g/m^2, wetted with about ~130g of slow epoxy....

Hey is anyone on here using blankets of around 1000 watts? I've been playing around with different circuit layouts. I won't be doing any sublimation with it and I don't want to build something that heats up in 5 minutes while drawing 8 amps per mat. So I was aiming for around 1200 watts but the bes...

1079W


Will double check the fuses, thx.

This is the reason I am going to try lightly sealing a channel with the same epoxy I'm using in the lay-up and seeing if after this dries smooth cast 305 doesn't bubble when hardened at atmospheric pressure.
Might not work but worth a try.

How did you go?

The problem with a premolded edges is how to cut it for bonding together:



The idea is to make a 45 degrees cut. Hm, not easy task tho...

Any ideas?

Thx Gav 305 I did not try, but like with any I think it expands first and than it shrinks. Quite a bit with both. That is the problem and a nightmare to clean after. At least for me. With premoled if I could get the exact thickness every time (which I don't yet), placing and finishing edges would be...

Hi guys

thinking to try some brushed aluminum on my kite boards (bottom only).

I recon it would look awesome, duno if ever tried.

What do you think? Is it possible to buy it as a thin sheet at all? Can't find it, only on a panels or similar.

Maybe a kitchen laminate? Would that work?

Thx
