Aquapour

I’m bringing up this company again. I know people have had mixed results but I wanted to try it.

They were bought for their air drone business by a defense contractor and there is no sign anywhere of aquapour on the net.

Does anyone know if it is available? If not does anyone know the recipe? I heard it was some mix of plaster of paris and cornstarch?

Maybe the ceramic part of the company will be spun off…

Any other similar substitute?

Tooling dough is another product that is different from aquapour. It is two part-epoxy dough that you kneed together. It can probably be machined if needed. It works good for reinforcing molds.

I should have specified. I am making a hollow over molded part. The small holes that are there are too small to be able to remove the inner mandrel.

It needs to be dissolvable or meltable.

Thanks

Northern fiberglass sells it. They are also a great place to get all your supplies from. www.nfgsales.com

I haven’t personally used them, but you might want to check out TI International. They are hot-melt systems though, so its not exactly like aquapour.

Aqua CORE…Aqua pour is just one product.

When I spoke with them in May at SAMPE, they are coming/came out with a TOTALLY new product. 10x better than Aquacore (which, as long as you do it right, should be ok for your project…use aquaseal as well, else you will be left with tons of aquacore in your composite)…now, whether or not they stopped making Aquacore to focus on the new product, I don’t know…

uuumm…I take that all back. Seems that BAE Systems bought out ACR…so yeah, I don’t know.

Keep us posted Riff :slight_smile:

Ahhhh!!! BAE, king of all out sourcers.
