1. Season’s greetings.
In my name and in the name of FiberglassTechnique.com crew I would like to take this occasion to wish you happy holidays! Also we would like to thank our subscribers and customers you for this amazing 2007 years we had!
2. What’s coming for 2008 for fiberglasstechnique.com.
We are currently working on a series of training DVD that will take you through every step of a project.
The first title will be a project about carbon fibers and vacuum bagging. During these videos, you will actually see vacuum bagging performed, this will be brought to you in a way that you’ll be able to reproduce what you’ve seen on your own project.
I’ll let you know more about these movies in upcoming newsletters.
Meanwhile, please go to our website www.fiberglasstechnique.com. and use the comment form on the main page to let us know what you would like to see in these training VIDEOS. Be really specific!
3. A composite question FROM SUBSCRIBERS.
This newsletter question is a classic sent by multiple newsletter subscribers:
Where to start to make a mold?
Composite 101, 202 and Advance answer:
First to make a mold you need a plug also called a master piece which as the actual form of the finish part. But there’s more to it, in Composite 101, 202 and Advance we go in more depth and details on how to properly design a plug. We cover topics like negatives angles and flanges etc…
But before thinking of starting a plug there a step that around 80% of the people try to avoid, it leads to big disasters, and lost of money.
Make a plan! You can’t go blindly into plug making. Make a sketch have measurements, plan ahead.
Often people ask us how to tackle a project and when asked for their plan they don’t have one not even a simple drawing. You can’t improvise your way into making a plug. Even a sculptor makes a sketch before touching his knives
Professionals go through this step. Taking few minutes to make a drawing, layout a base line and add few measurements can save you big time. More on this in Composite 101, 202 and Advance.
Sincerely,
