This in-depth guide to resin infusion shares a lot of the expert advice from our resin infusion training course. It includes advice on positioning reinforcement (in this case Kevlar), inclusion of core materials (3DCore), positioning of resin feed connectors and spiral for good resin distribution and flow rates, and where to position vacuum lines. We cover vacuum bagging technique, drop testing, and running the infusion itself.
The video is the fifth and final part of our Dark Ice Project series covering the manufacture of high-performance polar expedition sledges from design inception to completed components.

Your videos are so good and professional. I could watch them all day. I have been following this build with interest. Seems like the complicated video you made. Thank you.

@easycompositestv 3 года назад

Thanks Carl. It’s the most content we’ve put into a ‘series’ so far and the physical scale of the component made for more work too! It’s always more interesting for us when it’s a real project, not just a demo, because real projects always throw up challenges that you would just avoid for a simple demonstration. Hopefully Alex and the team will get to have their adventure later this year which will complete the story!

@chrislee7817 3 года назад

Your videos inspired me to start making composite components and this one is very good 👍. One development I have made that helps is to use suspended resin pots with the lines coming from the bottom. I use big squash bottles with the bottom cut out. Air comes out the lines naturally and I never worry about the lines falling out. I have them at part height. I use silicone bungs to hold the lines in place. Also I have no wasted resin. 👍. Worth an experiment, you might be surprised.

@easycompositestv 3 года назад

Hi Chris, thanks very much for your comment. That does sound like an interesting idea, we'll do some experimentation some time and see how we get on.

I learned some crucial info in this, especially the existence of that sticky spray and two of those cloths. But I think that its a lot of work to go to to save a quart of epoxy over just rolling on. Finally, admit it- those are just bath tubs. You can only fool some of us!

@snoopymec 3 года назад

Hey Paul. This tutorial is amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us! I have a quick question. What if there is a place where the resin didn't reach? Not because of leakage but for example because of a wrong setting of the resin hoses or so. Is there a way to fix that and save the part? Thanks man!

@easycompositestv 3 года назад

Hi Paulo, yes, you can often recover a situation like that or at least make it a bit better. It’s a bit of a messy process but you can ‘graft’ a new resin inlet and vacuum line, in situ. It’s difficult to explain but maybe I could do a short demo at some point.

@ExploreComposites 3 года назад

Awesome explanation of the infusion process! Your videos are a great resource. I still disagree with you about clamping off the vacuum right after infusion - but its hard to argue with the outcome! There’s always room for more right answers. Your pre-feeding resin to the clamps trick is a great idea. Thank you!

@easycompositestv 3 года назад

Personal choice which method you choose or find works best for you. Leaving the pump running is fine when you have a decent resin break.

@justinadkin1 3 года назад

Hi, thank you for your vids on here, they are really good! I’m a boat builder and have intermittent sessions of infusing components and the like. I’m always picking up little gems from both your videos and the comments below! Like the guy above, I can’t get my head round turning off the vac once the resin’s through. In a perfect world it obviously works as you’ve proved but I simply don’t trust my ability to get it perfect 😂 I have a more Heath Robinson type catch pot made from 6” waste pipe so I’m not too bothered about replacing it if I get a bit of resin through! Again, thank you for the great videos 👍🙂
