I am going to make a few posts going into the nuts and bolts of the operation.Piping start on Danny's 38 Powerplay Mold ,The mold shell had Sheet corecell bagged as coring and as extra precaution we added the Foam strips on the outside laminate which was bonded on with adhesive that the pipe was to be glassed to and Not the shell itself..we used a lot of green tint as well also had a 3" pipe spine running down the Keel

NOW WE'RE TALK'IN! BUILD PICS! :D


hey Steve those rollers you have, where is the catylist mixed at? How much maintenance are there on those and do you know of any for sale? So thats whats preferred over a wet out gun huh. cool stuff.

There is a trick to maintaining them, we would break it down and keep their lube on problem areas,You have three lines coming to the Block ,Resin , Mekp and Acetone then the valves,check valves and a long static mixer which went on the roller assembly .This style was superseded,

on the new systems a roller wand screws on the Gun, I had those overseas. I was using Venus "80" Guns in those days

Nothing beats a pressure fed roller in the right hands. Pedro has the block and static mixer ready to connect to the roller Via a quick disconnect fitting.

Steve, which guy are you in the pixs? Or are you behind the camera? Once again, great thread!

X-Driver, I am the one in the Grey shirt placing the glass here.

Why hand lamination? Is not infusion much better?

By Now yes!! For sure But one step at a time, Dan was doing a lot of Bagging there and the old Airex race boats were all up bagged.

Steve tell me what you know about Airex.. I was on a 27 and 33 Amarcat fish boat Tuesday and was impressed by the construction. The Airex cutouts held a screw like or better than wood, and when screwed in all the way the head twisted off....floats, no rot, and is 70% lighter...Thanks Jeff

My Old Mentor setup the first Airex plant in the US ,Torin in NJ a long time ago ,then was a Airex distributer but the Swiss and him parted ways, He Built ATC Chemical and the Corecell line of Foam ..Myself since @ 1983 or 1984 I have used the product even overseas I had it flown in from Switzerland There was a Picture of one of my projects in their office as a matter of fact.

Baltek Has acquired and expanded the Airex line from the original PVC foams to 9 different materials last count From the PVC's (my old favorite) through PET and the continuous reinforced PX Foams They have done a remarkable job on them.And we ain't afraid of no Damn water! The stuff has life cycles in centuries.

The big companies are grouping up and we will benefit from this.

Baltek I have a story on them a cool one.

KTRON just made me a set of step pads. I think they came out great. They are clear anodized as well.

Wow The New Logo Way Cool.

Looks awesome, can't wait to see them mounted.

I know another PP they'd look good on too.:drink:
