Chapter three is devoted to gaining some skills in making composite layups as well as acquiring some of the basic equipment needed.
Tools
Your basic expanded barbie light oven (anyone remember those from the 70's) for keeping the epoxy at 30°C
Test Layups
| Comments | |
 |
Confidence layup in three dimensions. This was actually a lot easier to make than the "plate" layups. (and a lot more fun) |
 |
Light layup. You can see lots of dry areas |
 |
"Good" layup. Not quite as good as I would have liked; still some bubbles are visible |
 |
"Heavy" layup. Somewhat heavier but not completely free of air bubbles. Rats!! At least I am under the 10% mark. |
