Use a fast evaporating solvent to dilute the epoxy such as acetone or MEK (ketone based solvents). Add no more than 5% solvent by weighing or by volume to the mixed resin. A 5% addition to the mixed resin yields the optimal dilution factor and adding more will only slow the reaction rate of the curing process.Ensure that all wood surface is coated with the epoxy sealant. For best results coat the entire exposed surface area with the prepared epoxy resin mixture.Apply multiple coats until all porosity of the wood is sealed; some grain raising can be expected upon coating.Allow the applied coats to cure for at least 24 to 36 hours before proceeding.For a smoother finish, sand the cured surface just enough to remove surface gloss and removed and surface blemishes caused by the grain raising.Apply another coat of the epoxy, this time without the addition of the solvent to ensure a hermetic seal and serve as an aesthetic top coat barrier.Apply an opaque paint or an aliphatic based polyurethane coating onto the epoxy coating if the wood structure is going to be exposed to direct sunlight. Most commercial paints will bond to the epoxy surface.Allow to cure and then apply the reinforcing fiberglass if needed by applying the resin first and then apply the fiberglass onto the resin. COMPOSITE FABRICATING BASIC GUIDELINESBy resolute definition, a fabricated COMPOSITE material is a manufactured collection of two or more ingredients or products intentionally combined to form a new homogeneous material that is defined by its performance that should uniquely greater than the sum of its individual parts. This method is also defined as SYNERGISTIC COMPOSITION. COMPOSITE MATERIAL COMPOSITIONREINFORCING FABRIC & IMPREGNATING RESIN PLUS 'ENGINEERED PROCESS' EQUALS COMPOSITE LAMINATE WITH THE BEST WEIGHT TO STRENGTH PERFORMANCE With respect to the raw materials selection -fabric and resin, the fabricating process and the and curing and test validation of composite part, these aspects must be carefully considered and in the engineering phase of the composite. Step One: Fabric Selection TYPES OF FABRIC WEAVE STYLE AND SURFACE FINISHING FOR RESIN TYPE COMPATIBILITY Fabrics are generally considered ”balanced” if the breaking strength is within 15% warp to fill and are best in bias applications on lightweight structures. “Unbalanced” fabrics are excellent when a greater load is required one direction and a lesser load in the perpendicular direction. Tow: The bundle of individual carbon filaments used to weave carbon fabric. 50k tow means there are 48-50,000 carbon filaments in the tow. Smaller tow i.e. 12k, 6k, 3k and 1k are obtained by dividing the 50k tow into smaller bundles.Thread Count: The number of threads (tow in carbon and yarn in Aramid) per inch. The first number will be the warp count and the second will be the fill count. Fill: The threads that run the width of the roll or bolt and perpendicular to the warp threads. Warp: The threads that run the length of the roll or bolt and perpendicular to the fill threads. Finish: The chemical treatment to fiberglass making it compatible with resin systems, therefore improving the bond between the fiber and the resin. Finishing fiberglass typically decreases the fiber strength by as much as 50%. Both Silane and Volan finishes are epoxy compatible. Historically, Volan has been considered a softer finish for a more pliable fabric, but recent advances have yielded some excellent soft Silane finishes.Thickness: Measured in fractions of an inch. The thicker the fabric the more resin required to fill the weave to obtain a surface-smooth finished part. Weaves: Plain weave means the warp and fill threads cross alternately. This is the most common weave.4 Harness (4 HS Satin or crowfoot) weave means the fill thread floats over three warp threads, then under one warp thread. This weave is more pliable than the plain weave, therefore conforms to complex curves more easily.8 Harness (8 HS Satin) weave means the fill thread floats over seven warp threads, then under one warp thread. This weave is the most pliable of the standard fiberglass weaves.2 x 2 Twill weave means the fill thread floats over two warp threads, then fewer than two warp threads. This weave is found most commonly in carbon fabrics and is more pliable than plain weave. Most fabrics are stronger in the warp than the fill because higher tension is placed on the warp fiber keeping it straighter during the weaving process. Rare exceptions occur when a larger, therefore stronger thread is used in the fill direction than the warp direction. PLAIN WEAVE Is a very simple weave pattern and the most common style. The warp and fill yarns are interlaced over and under each other in alternating fashion. Plain weave provides good stability, porosity and the least yarn slippage for a given yarn count. 8 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE The eight-harness satin is similar to the four-harness satin except that one filling yarn floats over seven warp yarns and under one. This is a very pliable weave and is used for forming over curved surfaces. 4 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE The four-harness satin weave is more pliable than the plain weave and is easier to conform to curved surfaces typical in reinforced plastics. In this weave pattern, there is a three by one interfacing where a filling yarn floats over three warp yarns and under one. 2x2 TWILL WEAVE Twill weave is more pliable than the plain weave and has better drivability while maintaining more fabric stability than a four or eight harness satin weave. The weave pattern is characterized by a diagonal rib created by one warp yarn floating over at least two filling yarns. SATIN WEAVE TYPE CONFORMITY UNTO CURVED SHAPES Plain Weaves, Bi-axial, Unidirectional Styles For Directional High Strength Parts Use this weave style cloth when high strength parts are desired.It is ideal for reinforcement, mold making, aircraft and auto parts tooling, marine and other composite lightweight applications.7544 Fiberglass - YouTube FIBERGLASS FINISHING FOR RESIN COMPATIBILITYAll of the fiberglass fabrics is woven By HEXCEL COMPOSITES, a leading manufacturer of composite materials engineered for high-performance applications in marine, aerospace for commercial and military, automotive, sporting goods and other application-critical performance.

Adding more curing agent than the recommended mix ratio will not promote a faster cure. Over saturation or starving the fiberglass or any composite fabric will yield poor mechanical performance. When mechanical load or pressure is applied to the composite laminate, the physical strength of the fabric should bear the stress and not the resin. If the laminate is over saturated with the resin it will most likely to fracture or shatter instead of rebounding and resist damage.Don’t how much resin to use to go with the fiberglass?A good rule of thumb is to maintain a minimum of 30 to 35% resin content by weight, this is the optimum ratio used in high-performance prepreg (or pre-impregnated fabrics) typically used in aerospace and high-performance structural application.For general hand lay-ups, calculate using 60% fabric weight to 40% resin weight as a safety factor. This will ensure that the fabricated laminate will be below 40% resin content depending on the waste factor accrued during fabrication.Place the entire pre-cut fiberglass to be used on a digital scale to determine the fabric to resin weight ratio. Measuring by weight will ensure accurate composite fabrication and repeatability, rather than using OSY data.THE USE OF A WEIGHING SCALE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Purchase this scale with any of product offering and the shipping cost of the scale is free.

To determine how much resin is needed to adequately impregnate the fiberglass, use the following equation:(Total Weight of Fabric divided by 60%)X( 40%)= weight of mixed resin neededORfw= fabric weightrc= target resin contentrn=resin neededMASTER EQUATION(fw/60%)x(40%)=rnFOR EXAMPLE1 SQUARE YARD OF 8-OSY FIBERGLASS FABRIC WEIGHS 226 GRAMS(226 grams of dry fiberglass / 60%) X 40% = 150.66 grams of resin neededSo for every square yard of 8-ounce fabric, it will need 150.66 grams of mixed resin.Computing For Resin And Curing Agent Amount150.66 grams of resin neededMIX RATIO OF RESIN SYSTEM IS 2:1 OR50 PHR (per hundred resin)2 = 66.67% (2/3)+1 = 33.33%(1/3)=(2+1)=3 or (66.67%+33.33%)=100% or (2/3+1/3)= 3/3150.66 x 66.67%= 100.45 grams of Part A RESIN150.66 x 33.33%= 50.21 grams of Part B CURING AGENT100.45 + 50.21 = 150.66 A/B MIXTUREGENERAL LAY-UP PROCEDUREApply the mixed resin onto the surface and then lay the fabric and allow the resin to saturate through the fabric.NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUNDThis is one of the most common processing error that yields sub-standard laminates. By laying the fiberglass onto a layer of the prepared resin, fewer air bubbles are entrapped during the wetting-out stage. Air is pushed up and outwards instead of forcing the resin through the fabric which will entrap air bubbles. This technique will displace air pockets unhindered and uniformly disperse the impregnating resin throughout the fiberglass.HAND LAY-UP TECHNIQUE Eliminating air entrapment or void porosity in an epoxy/fiberglass lay-up process Fiberglass Hand Lay Up For Canoe and Kayak Building- Cedar Strip Kayak Fiberglassing - YouTube Video will open in a new window [isdntekvideo] Other mechanical and physical test should be used to determine other aspect of performance.
