The vacuum system check you preformed is called a Rate-of-Raise (ROR) test. You should set a standard time lapse and max pressure / vacuum raise for your process control and make sure everyone follows the requirements. Thanks for the video, it was great.
Wish this was up back when I was learning....one of the only videos on resin infusion that are remotely helpful...the others do unimaginable NO,NOs!!!!
I'm no expert but rtm light only gets you a 20% fiber content and infusion gets you a 65% fiber content making it much much stronger. Not to mention the added cost of all that extra resin it might not be as bad as you think.
8:05 ... this can be simply avoided if u just put the kit on the bag and not on the mold... dont know why most of u are doing this since most of you dont even use it right if u want to use this tehnique ... use only 1 strand and not loop it like this guy did in the video... you save material (money) with this and thats the only purpose of putin the kit on the mold
So you know better than everyone on TH-cam that does this that way, because? This is the way even 3M Composites and several other companies show how to do it, and then get paid to do that. So you're saying they're all doing it wrong? You think you're better than them why?
I use a different infusion technique on my moulds, thats because they are smaller, but I still put the bag on exactly the same, its the best way by far, I've tried them all!
@@josephd.4890 i have been doing this for 20 years... and the only reason why this is done in the video is to save money ... but in most cases you dont save anything ... u just do it slower its way simpler to pre apply the kit on the bag rather than later and you evade issues that you clearly dont know of
@@RePlayBoy101 you mean the sealant tape ? In the end it all down to the way you feel the most confortable with. In the aerospace everyone uses this technique. It takes a big table to apply the sealant on the bag, and then when handling the bag you will pinch the sealant. Sealant on the mold wins the race when you've got the right technique.
@@SuperYellowsubmarin you cant pinch a piece of gum... its mouldable ... and this is the slowers out of the options ... this methods were used 20 years ago and things evolve through the years especially if you like to experiment like i did

@@josephd.4890 Ok, well I never said this was an incorrect procedure, so I'm not sure where you got that. I think perhaps you're misunderstanding what I'm saying, or simply misread my comment?

Thanks for this informative video ...

Nice. I have two molds I would like to do this to. 20' tunnel and a 21' v hull.
Good video! Is there a rule of thumb for cost of materials per sq. ft/yd etc.? Looks much more efficient that hand laying, and cleaner too.
Great video
very very best
Por favor en español, es muy importante para mi, gracias mile.
Very good
Is there a difference between infusion resin and RTM light resin?
Is the vacuum running during the resin infusion process?
Should be wearing gloves while handling cloth...oil from your hands can cause dry spots while infusing
please let me know which spray do you use I coulnd't find it:(
is this Poly or Epoxy?
and there are others?
where can i buy that hood?
那一罐噴霧劑是甚麼東西.?青色的膠布又是甚麼材質?作用如何?
lee 無明 第一個問題：類似3m super 77用來黏著 第二、三個問題：青色的不是膠布是離型布peel ply 用來分離物件跟耗材(真空氣帶)
There are tons, bust most of them suck...I'm not sure I understand your question.

It doesnt make sense why you would put so much flow media in that part
A lot of waste. Why not use a countermold?

Would have been faster to do it
by hand
faster but not better

Make up your mind you have two titles one says basic and the other says advanced, put much thought into this?
No shortage of none degrading none recyclable landfill plastic waste. I guess when you don't give a stuff about the environment it's a great idea.
What a waste of material.
Vilo Conshmillo It sure is. Find a better way and you will be very wealthy. Best regards
There already is a better way. More work, more time consuming, but less waste and reusable.
