You can do an overlay of carbon fiber! Make sure you prep the surface with 40-80 grit sandpaper and clean it properly to get a good bond. I prefer to use polyester resins for "skinning" carbon parts but epoxy will work. Once prepped use a chip brush and paint on a layer of resin, let it sit...

Awesome Looks great keep it up

yeah we talked about the German advanced composites a while back. I like the duratec poly it lays nice has a lot of UV resistance and you can shine it up real nice once the part is pulled and its nice to spray. a lot of guys I have talked with are using 2k urethanes for imc and are having very...

Great work Nate looks like you went with the carbon Kevlar? What IMC are you using?

a run on your plug will create a dip in your mold.... may have to sand transitions into it from all around it to minimize the dip You can also cut duratec to thin it just ask your supplier for the thinner you can also get it through fiberglast but they are always expensive. I have discussed...

I have not used the can for the fact that any semi perm out of a can seems to good to be true... the aerosol can sprays fairly inconsitantly with a rag and the liquid version of frekote i feel it has better consistancy. if your mold is not wet sanded and buffed to a mirror finish the frekote...

@Dalton first apply the sealer then the Frekote. I like to apply it with two towels, one that is applying the frekote and one clean and dry one following it about 6-8 inches apart. I usually work left to right then down the mold its hard to gauge what you have already covered. Looks to me...

Pretty exciting day, got our new CAT and all ready to lift the bridge deck on.

In order to get to the bolt you will need to get access into the tray. Just cut out a square or circle in the tray above the bolt, save the piece you cut out so you can put it back. You can use an insert off of another hull or just use a block of SS drilled and tapped to the correct size and...

Acetone on a rag and have a ton of rags and a gal of acetone! will take a while but it will come off. Once you get the tacky material off start at 320 and work your way up to 1000 grit wet sanding then buff it

it is based off square footage of the area your going to bag 1/16 HP will do 30-40SF 24" Hg at .5CFM. A stock bottom deck of a hull is around 28-30 SF and a top deck is around 25-28 SF. a 1/16hp pump will not pull the bag down quickly if doing a hand layup then bagging, as mentioned before an...
