Hello Fellows:
Just looking for instuction and materials (salt?) to try some cf tubing. I have google for it but not find anywere. In some thread about tubing I read about salt mandrel, is this possible? or Is it only aquacore the way to go? (beside some bladder).
Thx a lot!
If you want a curved part, you can use a salt mandrel. Mix salt with some egg whites, and cast it in shape. Cure in the oven. Cover with tape, and make your tube. Rinse out the salt with hot water.
wow, I think I wont have any problem with that, excellent receipe, well, maybe wife will complaint a litte, since I already took the hair airblower for some layups…now the kitchen and the oven…well…
Thanks a lot!
Could you also use clay to do this as well?
No, clay will not dissolve that easy (my mother was a ceramiste, clay all over the place…)
Soller Composities sells composite sleeves that can be used to make tubing easily.
