Building: a love/hate relationship with GRP

posted on 26/2/05 at 11:12 AM

If you're seriously considering using prepregs, you should have a good look at resin infusion. We used to use carbon prepreg at work (www.ice.hpv.co.uk) for making CF seats. It's labour intensive and can go wrong in more ways than you can imagine. Since changing to an infused resin system, the process is easily 3 times faster, and virtually problem-free. It doesn't need an oven, or high temperatures molds.

Cheers
John
