Hi to all I,m new to the forum and kiteing so please be kind
Ive just finished my first board 60" x 18" twin tip 1/2 ply core with 2x 4oz for base and 2x12oz for the deck vacuum bagging used to apply .the plan had been to not use any cloth on this one but the ply was so poor I had to
Now on to my next board I hope my techniques improve as my kitting does so im not expecting a perfect blend of materials at this stage
I have available to me
materials for vacuum bagging
The only core foam i can get easy/economical is 200gm sq foot which i understand is a bit low on density
I have a roll of 300gm of what i think is e glass about 40 meters so although maybe a little on the heavy side its free
I will be using polyester to start with
has anyone used such a low density foam core if so should i add stringers
and what sort of vacuum should i use to stop the core being a big heavy sponge and absorbing to much resin
Thanks for any advice Andrew
should mention that im in the uk frinton essex
