Hey guys,
continuing on my Mast Building Method viewtopic.php?f=199&t=2394338
Yesterday, I've tried to wrap my core in a carbon. The weight looked promising
Core:
Core plus all carbon:
Than, the disaster. On the last carbon layer (finishing layer), the epoxy went off. Like big exothermic reaction, gone in a sec! Puff!
Using Entropy CLR, and yep, it did happen before. I did pour only 150ml, than poured this into a two pots 75ml each, pots 1/2L plastic ones (or 1/3L not sure).
Anyways, saved my core and binned all carbon...At least the core is sealed now
Which got me thinking, how to do a resin infusion guys? I would infuse this mast vertically, so the gravity would also kick in. But, can't find any setups on the Net, and looks like the UNI carbon is a bit.h to infuse judging from the readings.
I just cant handle the stress of making this expensive part with a vacuuming. Infusion seems to be heaps less stressful.
Any ideas?
Cheers
