thats the stuff. The other guys here have heaps more experience with it than me but 1 thing I will say is make sure you have wide mixing pots. Last time I mixed it in a 1 litre mixing pot and pot life was shortened by about 50% Are you making skis or boards or something else? The white PU (325 I th...

ELONGATION AT BREAK IS 10%? UHMW is 250% doesnt sound like the right stuff. http://www.smooth-on.com/tb/files/SMOOTHCAST_325_326_327_COMBO_TB.pdf MM, I've made some calls and there is a product from Smooth On called TASK12 And that has got 350% ELONGATION break, viscosity as engine oil, works well ...

Moving to WA?


I'll ask one guy here in Perth who might be interested...

What's the veneer size?

A peace of warning: the HDPE mold is distorting with a heat. Not only that, when HDPE is machined like this mold was, it will bend and distort. The solution for this might be to secure your HDPE mold with a metal rods or something or make a mold of aluminium. Wood is no good as well coz of the heat ...

Horses for corpses???????? The Aust. Oxford Dictionary - "matching the tasks and talents" :) Yes, for a kiteboard it is hopefully a match. As I know kiteboard industry is using 30secs pot life PU to eliminate air bubbles. Either way, making a pre made sidewall is a go for me: http://board...

Hm,

MM, horses for corpses.

In Australia, UHMW costs as gold:(

But I am very interested in the elongation break?! I can't imagine where would that be on the sidewall? Hitting a rock?

Are they any PU's with better elongation break or I shouldn't worry with a kite boards?

Thx

What he said:)

My new batch! this one is 327, transparent, nice fluorescent colors, can take a night photo when charged with a light. They look awesome in a dark. Better than expected. Post cured on 60psi, and heat cured on 55C for 3hrs. http://boardbuilders-forum.1077691.n5.nabble.com/file/n1410/DSC05489_%28Small...

The PU PMC 790 test, same size, cured on 50psi, same dimensions. Hammer test, no visible break: http://boardbuilders-forum.1077691.n5.nabble.com/file/n1400/DSC01021_%28Small%29.jpg The finger nail imprint: http://boardbuilders-forum.1077691.n5.nabble.com/file/n1400/DSC01023_%28Small%29.jpg Bend test...

Got it, cheers!

With a web access from Australia I do not see any numbers on Crown web site.

I do not even know if we can call 1800 or similar from here...So, back to square one:(

Do they have anything for a wake boarding?

I was never able to find anything...Any advice on this pls? Thx

I'll have some Smooth On PMC 790 samples soon as well. Pre casted on 60psi.
If someone is interested...

True.

For me it's abut the cost as well. One "trail" PU package ~1kg about AU$30.
And quite easy to work with since it's like water. PMC790 is like honey, for me, not easy to pour at all.
