The acrylic panel I was using as mold has some scratches on it,I didn’t polish the surface,there will be grip tape on it. It came out OK.
It’s not going to break but it has flex just like Vangurd board.
DAMMMMMN!!!
that is sick
Next time when I do it again I’ll go thicker.(10mm) instead of 5mm or use core material to add rigidity.
How the hell did you cut out carbon fiber like that!?!
Not yet.It’s template. I am planning to cut it out
looking slick. Where can I go to get started with vacuum bagging?
easycomposites has great videos to look at.
how many carbon layers did you use for 5mm thickness? im very interested in vanguard-like flex
I used 5 sheets of 12k 815gsm(gives 0.8mm thickness) plus 4 of 3k 203gsm(gives 0.2mm thickness)
Does anyone know how thick Trampa Board is?
Maybe some curves , channels in the board would help the rigidity? …in the mold?
Yes,That’s exactly my next plan. I 'll give little more curve with 4mm Honeycomb Core between layers. This material is a polyester non woven material with Honeycomb structure as a flow channel for resin.
Looks like this
Resin only flows in the channel.
ill watch and learn, this is extremely valueable for me
Fancy…honeycomb
Look forward to the update…
This is simply amazing! Next level shit
And I still want to know how you cut it out😀
How much does it weigh?
Dremel with
I didn’t scale the weight, but it’s definitely lighter than a wood deck. Now I am planning to add little bit of rigidity to the board with as least weight as possible.
