BUILDING A PIECES OF FIBERGLASS









1. Preparing to execution piece



Fiberglass parts are obtained by rolling the hand (contact process) by successive layers of fiberglass impregnated with polyester resin, or combination of chopping machine and applied to fiber (polispray), the molds.

2. Application gelcoat over mold



Most recommended for execution gelcoat fiberglass parts is gelcoat translucent isophthalic with neopentilglicol, it has a good toughness, very bright, high resistance to marine conditions, and does not absorb water. Usually, it uses white pigment.
Gelcoat is ready for use after adding the percentage of hardener (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide).

3.Tips



Gelcoatul be mixed before use (10 minutes to 24 hours). A low viscosity will cause excessive mixing, increasing the risk of flow and the porosity formation.

4. Lamination







 The first layer of reinforcement layer is stratimat  300 g / mg powder. Be applied after the gelcoat has hardened layer (between 30 min and an hour, but no more).

Resin applied over gelcoat spray strengthened by your age or with a brush, roller or lamb leather. Should apply a thick and smooth, if it can double in weight over ranfort. The first layer of resin and fiber moisten be pressed to follow the contour model without double layers, cuts or scratches.

5. Removing mold from the model



If the model surface is resistant to styrene monomer and if wax was carefully should not experience problems in removing the mold from the model. Linking ejectorii the compressed air, mold can be removed from the model.
