Glass guys
My question. Which is more feasible?
I just purchase a vacuum pump rated to 3 kPa. I plan to do a bit of glassing in the near future. Nomex, Nylon, Graphite, orKevlar. Nomex - good temperature rating melting point 572*F Nylon - good price for strength, melting point heat 500*F Graphite - expensive but overall superior to others Very high flash point (ie does not melt but combust) Kevlar - good tensile strength but could not stand to heat range above 248*F Its needs to withstand min 200*F heat, must be strong enough to support up to 2000 lb of shock force, withstand 10*F without cracking. Using this to make a 9' lightweight boat hull. My uncle is too cheap to buy a new boat and not willing to spend money to replace the rust spots. I figure I could use this as a stepping stone to learn how to do dry carbon. And a tool to making my own hood. So which is the best sheets to use? |
??? bdyman???

why not use kevlar? your not going over 200*
and the other choices... why not nylon? |
I like to see if any body actually use these. This is my first time and I'm going to eff the crap out of the hull. I like to know what I'm getting into before starting.
