Very Interesting!!
Kewl stuff. I wonder what the specs are on this resin. http://www.percyshp.com/store/Fiberglass-Composites/Resin-Accessories/Hyperfiber-Resin-UV-curable-1-gallon-can/prod_304.html
“memory” wires??? So, it returns to it’s original shape? Oi vay!!
Pretty darn neat idea!!! Not exactly the best way to make a part, obviously…layering one cured layer, on top of another with no compaction? Still, i can see a product like this being good for odds and ends for non-composite people. I like the resin…5min sunlight cure? dang.
Maybe it holds the shape that you make it. If you bend it like angle iron the wires will keep it in the shape of angle iron so you can cure it with no mold. ? :confused2: ?
I didn’t see the 5min spec. WOW I wish I could cure my stuff that fast.
No, the wires are a good idea…but to market steel wires as memory wires, is…uhhh…really really STUPID. Memory wire goes back to it’s original shape…meaning…you try to flatten this out, and it goes back into it’s roll shape? meeeeeeeh…
Still…neat. Not sure how the carbon version would cure, since light can’t always pass through it. But I guess that is why they say to cure one layer at a time.
I have a tube/roll of this stuff. I won’t use it so if someone wants to buy it i will sell. It is light curing resin prepreg with the wires in the fiberglass. Made by the exact same company. I will sell it for less than retail price.
12 inch x 5 foot. wired. Still in original packaging. $125. pm for photos of the tube. Percy sells this for $264.
