Hi, can anyone recommend a UV protective clear coat that I can use with vacuum only prepreg? Maybe one I can spray in mould?
I know easy composites do their poly based GC50 but I’m wary of purchasing from easy, as I know their stuff is not actually made by them, it’s rebranded.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
The poly based stuff can be T30 from Momentive / Scheufler, or vinylester based from Scott Bader. (should look up the number). Will they work with prepreg? I doubt. The vinylester one might be OK, but the poly one will probably soften too much. Also the styrene which can outgas at higher temperatures might impair your prepreg work.
I have placed the question on my question list for the next time I get a prepreg training. (somewhere in june probably)
May be worth trying this stuff? http://www.hp-textiles.com/shop/index.php?language=en&cat=c784_In-mould-coating--IMC-Lack-.html&
