Carbon board

Postby Raslikk » Thu Oct 01, 2015 3:24 pm

Hey,
a few boards from my workshop :) They are usually boards of low wind, except for one :)
Boards produced of carbon - vacuuming. Desing brother doing airbrush. Painted over a hard coat on ships.

Nice looking boards!

Have you had any problems yet with the carbon overheating in the sun?

What's the max Tg of your resin system? And to what temp are you post-curing?

Hi,
no problems on the Sun are not. The resin is a LH160 from Havelcomposites, the time for processing at 20 degrees 70-90 minutes depending on the humidity. It's vytvrzováno at 65 degrees, probably something around 8 hours. In the form of overnight.
Thank you for the compliments.

Hi,

a picture of the mold surface made for my girlfriend 2014, her birthday. Mold was vakuum injected carbon. Board carbon mold injecetd - the tip area was only 2mm thick and extremly flexible. Gives you excessive rocker in turns. Hard to beat.
I have 5 molds like this made in the last 6 years.

Today I believe bidies as DIY are extremly boring. Big boys make molds for foils on a 3D printer in these days.

This one is with a milled logo gold plated by hand for a friend of us made in 2012 ? Unfortunately stolen from the beach.

hi, kostantine

Please advise me:
I am currently shaping a board for hydrofoil, using pauwlonia. Wood core and 200gr/m2 tweal carbon fiber/epoxy coating.
Now, the question is: more wood means more volume, thus better flotation, yet less wood and more layers equals stronger board.
What I want to ask you is if one layer of CF on 0.5cm thick woodcore would be strong enough, or I should make the woodcore thicker (i.e. 1cm or more) or use more CF layers?

Many thanks for reply!
