Du très beau travail professionnel merci pour le partage. Une petite question combien de couche de fibre de verre faut-il maître pour avoir une solidité et bien-sûr pas trop lourd
For the deck: I believe that the lighter weights of fabric show less of a woven pattern, and as such are best used for outer layers in order for the surface to be smooth. From there, the 9oz fiberglass is pretty much the same thing just thicker, because appearance is less important. The honeycomb is added to the middle because it has no durability, and instead only serves to thicken the composite for rigidity. Finally, the kevlar is on the inside for a final addition of rigidity. Presumably the kevlar is the strongest layer, and since the boat is more likely to flex inward than outward, tensile strength is most important on the inside.
I used to help build custom kayaks at New Wave Kayaks in Middletown Pa. We once laid up a C1 with kevlar that ended up weighing only 17 pounds. I remember vacuum bagging it. Thx for sharing and explaining this. My buddy bought the business and moved his shop so I don't get to see much building going on anymore.

What is the thought process / design reasoning when choosing the different weights of each layer of fabric?
woven for strength , stranded chopped so can be sanded smoother for finish

how expensive is to build custom kayaks?
@@opedropedro not sure. My kayak was $600 just for cost in 1989.
2:11 I almost saw what you're using as a spray adhesive between layers!!
Cen you kindly make a video on how to make the mold (to which you applied the gel coat) please?
I purchased 2, took awhile to get them but at the time no one had Kayaks. these are great.
Nice build up kayak sharing
measure ??? overall,width,depth???
Wow! Very nice Sir Good job!
Show.....Show.....Show

Hi! What substance do you spray from the balloon when you lay the layers?
Air tac, a spray adhesive
@@LincolnCanoeKayak what is its basis, that it does not interfere with the work of resin and vacuum
@@LincolnCanoeKayak I found this particular spray.
There is still a question what technique do you use for vacuuming?
@@LincolnCanoeKayak thank you
Very intelligent sir love your video.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
