    Good practices for best structural properties w/o autoclave (???)

    Here si we are working into: Materials we are using: Carbon Fiber 5.7 oz/sq yd,.012" Thick, 3K, 2x2 Twill Weave and CF unidirectional 9.0 oz/sq yd, 12K, .014" thick. We had some from fibreglast and US composites, and probably will be buying more from them. Not using prepregs, and baccum...

    Good practices for best structural properties w/o autoclave (???)

    Wow! So there's no inexpensive way to get good structural results? I also thought vaccum bagging was enough for that. I also was thinking about building some sort of frame over the mold flat panels (steel panels instead of glass) to avoide the flat panel to bend on the not pressed areas, and...

    Good practices for best structural properties w/o autoclave (???)

    What is a good technique to obtain the best structural properties of a flat CF panel? Since I am not using an Autoclave I was thinking about using two big thick panels of glass as a press mold to obtain similar results of an Autoclave and add some weight to them. Would this work? Does someone...
