What is the mixing ratio of TALC and RESIN ??

[Savyoan]

Hello

A very good video, and damn good music.

I have a question: Can I put gelcoat on a gypsum mold? After waxing the gypsum mold ?

Do I have to put wax into the gelcoat (making it like topcoat) ?

Best Regards

Hi, we used 10 waxes for taking mould from plug and also taking part from mould, best rgds

Not Bad For Brush

pres 4 really fast

[ecfibreglassuk]

Hi, usually 2-3 hours @ room temp of approximately 18-20 deg C.

[Niqaat]

its very good video for fiberglass workers its so nice cos i have my owen fiberglass besnuss thanks

I have removed part of my Dashboard that is made from 'Pleather' material puled over metal, there is foam/sponge in between to give it shape. I'm looking to made a solid fibreglass part and not have the spongyness. Can you tell me if its possible to make a mould from the plastic/leather style dashboard material? Thanks :)

does the gel coat can be sprayed? using a compressor? thanks..

[ecfibreglassuk]

@mindfreak001009

Hi you would need a compressor to spray gelcoat, or without simply brush apply,rgds

[ecfibreglassuk]

Hi, yes its a fibreglass plug that was made, in this case the male part outlasts the female part, so after every few thousand lifts this is brought back in to reproduce another, when its put back into stores a Gelcoat few layers of Glass is usally applied for protection, you can get mould protect, but its sometimes as easy the 'old fashioned' way :-). best rgds

[ecfibreglassuk]

Hi yes it is actually better to leave wax to harden correctly overnight, if you need to put any more on the next day it will be ok, kind rgds

[ecfibreglassuk]

Hi costs vary please call us for further details,many thanks

[ecfibreglassuk]

Hi This is Polyester Gelcoat, best rgds

[MrSkyleo27]

@ecfibreglassuk After you apply Gelcoat, typically how long do you have to wait until applying fiberglass?

[ecfibreglassuk]

Hi Polyester Resin is used in this demo, best rgds

[ecfibreglassuk]

Hi this is Polyester gelcoat, best rgds

[Dole111]

polyester resin or epoxy resin?

[signevent]

What is the fist coat of black liquid you put on???

[jwheat65]

@signevent Gelcoat, as is said in the video.

[profesorkai]

how much did this size mould cost to make all together?

[bizling]

When waxing the mould, is it ok to leave it over night say if you've only achieved 6-7 layers?

Same applies to the former?

[Eggtastic]

Stupid because you made a mould of an already made mould?

Lol, thought it was like, how to make a mould to use for fibreglass, but you've just put fibreglass on a mould alreay made lol

[tritty84]

@Eggtastic It is a mould they made it from the plug, the product will be made from the mould not the plug.

[jwheat65]

@Eggtastic I think you're being confused when he says "First you need to coat the mold..". He should have said plug. He has a plug and is making a mold off it. :-)

[richarddale76]

pva?

[ecfibreglassuk]

@richarddale76 Hi This is a PVA Release agent not to be confused with polyvinyl acetate emulsion which is a Bonding agent.

PVA Release agent is a liquid solution of polyvinyl alcohol resin in a mixture of water. when dry this forms a thin skin which acts as a barrier to prevent the resin from bonding to the mould surface.

Kind regards ecfibreglassuk

[richarddale76]

@ecfibreglassuk Thanks for the info. Its just i've seen other on here use upto 6! layers of wax, then 2 coats of PVA release agent. This was for an epoxy resin on carbon 6k fibers though. Would you recoment either/or rarther than both? P.s When you back open after xmas? got an order ready to ring through. Thanks again

[ecfibreglassuk]

@richarddale76 The treatment of moulds is slightly different for epoxy moulding, some people will only use the PVA alone for epoxy mouldings. Unlike polyester which relies on a chemical bond, the epoxy relies on mechanical bonding so will sometimes still grip to any microscopic scratches on the mould surface even if waxed, PVA produces a good solid barrier between the Epoxy and Mould surface. We are open again on the 3rd of jan. Thanks again and All the best for 2011

ok i have 3 questions

1) how called the black thing u do in 1:19 ?

2) how called the white thing u do in 3:11 ?

please tell me my english are bad but i can do translation please tell me <3

3) i want to make a mould to a car hood will it leave marks to original hood if i do it these way ?

[GasserGlass]

I wasn't picking on you....I was scratching my head on why would you make the mold the LONG WAY or go through all those man hours??????...... Material cost etc..... How its being done in this video is how we did it 30 years ago......?...... I'M just confused thats all.....No Harm or Reticule intended.

[ecfibreglassuk]

@GasserGlass Hi thank you for your reply, The methods we use in some of our videos are quite basic, the company producing these moulds do have more advanced methods but we try to keep the demonstrations to basic hand lay up without the need for spray or sometimes trimming equiptment. some of our customers buying our materials are first time user who may not have access to spray guns and pnumatic tools etc, hopefully we will get the time to demontrate other methods in future videos, Kind rgds

[GasserGlass]

@ecfibreglassuk ................ OHOKAY... Understood..... Keep up the good work and sorry for any confusion.

[irfanfikri]

but how do we make the "red thing" first?

[ecfibreglassuk]

@irfanfikri This is known as The Plug / Mastermould: To produce a mould you need a pattern or former commonly called a “plug” an exact replica of the finished item. Usually you will have to make the plug from scratch. The plug can be made from almost any material as long as it is made rigid, accurate, dimensionally stable and set on a solid foundation. this particular one is made of fibreglass which we made earlier from another plug made from wood which was primed as smoothed to a gloss finish

[ecfibreglassuk]

@irfanfikri please visit our website click on 'projects' then 'making moulds' This will explain more about manufacturing a 'plug'.
