worked on bridge for profiler today. Get done less I would've wanted to but at least something done. To see results how profiler will be working I have to attach a dust collection and figure out something to hold core down. Experiment with double-faced tape and hot glue far from acceptable. Probably...

I am not building anything special. Somewhat similar to Kingswood's in his video. Metal rails and mental bridge instead of wood from steel leftovers I got in my garage

Sunday had time to put together profiler table and rails. came out nice and sturdy. unfortunately 1/4" steel I got for the rails not strong enough. Some deflection between supporting points, okay for now, in the future will have to replace it with 3/8" or 1/2" thick stuff. I wasn't su...

That is a beast! The front fenders rip! casters and 6" I-beams was from huge engine hoist I saved from destruction. "Fenders" was on them already. Actually I regret to put those wheels on the press, it looks nice, but difficult to move around small shop like mine. Someday I need to p...

"you building what? Are you mad?"

Time to start a journal. Last summer I stumbled on this website. For several months after that I read and read. About this time a year ago I decided to go for it. As my wife put it "from addictions men can have this is a good one. Go for it if that is what you want to do" Looking back this...

I think your design looks good Nice all mountain ski 125-87-112 Slight early rise tip and low tail Just like what I am about to make next! If "sidecut bias" means how far behind centre the waist of the ski is then I would bring it forward a touch. Maybe set back 80-100mm from ski centre i...

Also, the CPM viscosity will drop when the press will be heated. I think in the end it's pretty much the same.
how about CPM with room temperature 1000 hardener?

That was the standard rate. That's actually the single biggest reason I stopped using eBay years ago. They lure you in with a low price and then they bend you over with an exaggerately inflated S&H fee. I'd rather support a local shop if I'm gonna pay out the nose. strange when I looked at auct...

what about viscosity?

CPM is high viscosity "Super Sap CPM is specifically designed for compression molding processes of composite parts"

100/1000 low viscosity

would under pressure low viscosity product get squeezed out?
