WEEK 14

 

WEEK ASSIGNMENT:

 

Composites

 

 

 

 

My task was to perform a practice and see the behavior of materials.

For my homework this week I decided to make a mold pot and then play it .

MATERIALS

250 resin

fiberglass

gel coat

 

I began by applying a layer of gelcoat in a container so that the upper layer would be coated .

After that, it was time to apply the composite, in this case I opted for fiberglass. To add the fiberglass I used a mixture of a PP resin with K2000 catalyzer to get it to stick. It was like when you do paper mache

 

Finally I used a final layer of gelcoat to make it a little easier and resistant and also easier to paint .

I had to break the pot as it did not come out my mold and as a result went very well the reproduction of the pot , which note is like making a mold -resistant only using materials such as resin and fiberglass
