ScottiE 174 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Anyone know where I could contact in Auckland for a couple of 16m sheets - preferrably seconds to keep the cost down! Alternatively, anyone have a spare 2m x 2m laminating table lying about that they don't need for a few weeks!?! (actually the main job is 3.7m x 1.7m but I was trying to be realistic by chopping it in two!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 indeed! However "Formica or the likes" vs "22mm think MDF cover sheet . . . then gave it a coat of west resin with a god splash of acetone . . . sanded and gave it a full coat, sand again and another full coat then a fine sanded" does strike a particular "chord" with me!

ScottiE 174 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hey KM - what size vac pump did you use for your large panels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Cheers KM - I might just take you up on that. IT the pics from the forum link above seems to have gone AWOL (again?) Should probably add that forum to the tips n tricks forum as well. Gonna hone my skills on some flash vent cowls first followed by a folding bbq table (have some old material lying about for that job) followed by the main deck. Going to infuse as well - might as well go the whole hog! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rigger 47 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 As KM suggested - Most Carters have packing sheets of MDF, particle board, Ply for around $10+GST, might be some edge damage. Bought 10 sheets from the local Carters thickness ranged from 18mm thick to the monster 32mm thick sheet that nearly gave me a holiday... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Cheers guys - yeh I've used peel ply and know of its value Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 KM - what laminating resin did you settle on for infusing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
