Your best off giving the nomex honey comb a little wiggle once you vave put it in the glue coated plywood, this captures the glue that is wasted in the centre of each cell.
That's a good tip. It will wick up naturally if viscosity gets low enough (not going to happen here) but agree - glue out in the middle of a cell just sitting there isn't helping!
Oh I don't really have favorites - some are more interesting though! The problem with these materials is that there are so many variables that it's hard to pick a "best" - you can usually get to a workable solution from a bunch of different angles. Usually its manufacturing concerns that matter as much as materials - unless for a very demanding application where you can afford to do something difficult because some aspect of the product requires it. If I had to choose, I'd take infusion because it is so manufacturable, inexpensive and not messy. Add glass or carbon, some foam core, and common infusion resins - and you have a good place to start for many types of parts.
I don´t get this really. What´s the purpose for this material ? Why so complex with additional coats of epoxy putty why not just paint over the previous layer with some PU varnish ? Are there tests being conduncted with this piece of material ? I am really confused.
These "laminate samples" are just a look at a bunch of materials and processes all bundled up into a square foot some something somebody might actually be able use. This one is a bit out there, but the combination of plywood skins with a honeycomb core is great for light stiff things where wood is ok. The Dynel is a good sheathing material - tough and abrasion resistant and shown here filled and primed to a paintable surface. Lots of the other samples are more common recipes, but I try to show something interesting in each one - a material, process or tool - sometimes maybe I try to pack too much into each one!
@@ExploreComposites Ok now I get it. I have seen a couple of your other videos, well done. Interesting stuff. Have you tried something super low cost like corrugated board with resin ?
I don’t know! Going to have to buy more than the absolute minimum quantity of ply next time! Its always nice to break stuff. My guess is that epoxy would be tougher and a better all around choice - but Gorilla may be adequate if enough is used - and probably lighter.
@@ExploreComposites Also way cheaper and more natural than epoxy. I wouldn´t want to use epoxy and glasfiber etc. Wood neveere wood glue and shellac it all it takes.
