HOW TO use PRESS LAMINATION to save HOURS of SANDING LABOR / Boat Restoration
In this video I show how I use press lamination to simulate vacuum bagging results with out having vacuum bagging equipment. I use this technique to get almost perfectly smooth laminated surfaces so I don't have to spend more labor time sanding.

      Personally I wouldn’t use the Home Depot PVC aside from the trim pieces for making accent pieces but you can use it if it’s heat treated and sanded. The marine grade / sanded PVC I use has much better properties suited for lamination and marine environment. But yes it can be substituted for Cossa for a lot of projects at a much lower cost.

    • @boatcrafterscollective

  • @solarguy6043
    @solarguy6043 3 місяці тому

    Yes, it saves time. However....adding silica to the resin *before* adding hardener will reduce the strength. Some of the resin that gets absorbed by the silica will not get the proper amount of hardener no matter how long or how well you mix it. As noted by Tony, it is better to chill the ingredients to buy some time rather than premix the filler into the resin.

    • @boatcrafterscollective
      @boatcrafterscollective 3 місяці тому

      Huh ??? Think about your statement. If resin doesn’t get enough hardener then the resin won’t cure properly. Improper catalyst percentage has no relation to strength. If something is catalyzed at 1% or 3% the strength is the same only the cure time is longer. If your statement was true then polyester based putties that you can buy off the shelf premixed wouldn’t exist. When you buy polyester fairing putty (ie bondo, radius putty, Evercoat, core bonding putty) they don’t give you silica and resin and tell you to mix it yourself, it already comes premixed/thickened in the can.

    Well, I have a comment. Those bowl screws are not Philips. They are JIS (common on Japanese small engines), which is close in design, but far enough off that they will strip easily with a Phillips. A small set of vice grips grabbing the sides of the screw is best for breaking these free. These carbs have lots of room to allow for this. A Philips can then be used to finish removing/installing them. I'm not sure you were very accurate with the naming of the parts, but your disassembly did help me when I did mine. Thanks!
