So I’m wanting to make some flat panels and I’d like to know if cormat is a good idea?
I’ve never used it before so what is different about working with it?
How many layers of carbon on either side?
Does the cormat absorb much resin? It felt kind of rubbery when I touched it.
Thanks.
Core Mat absorbs a lot of resin. I wouldnt use it in a light weight situation.
1/8" scored Divinycell is much better.
You don’t want to fully wet out the core mat but just enough for some to come thru the holes so it rivets the layer together.
What I want to do is make these panels by infusion with 2 layers carbon, then the coremat, then another 2 layers carbon, all on a glass surface for that nice finished surface. Does this sound ok? can it be infused, or is coremat only for wet lay jobs? I would be using 2mm coremat.
90% of coremat is for wet lay jobs
but You can find coremat for infusion like DIVINYMAT

I love Honeycomb, its very light and dont absorb resin
Except on infusion, with no pre-bonded surface layers. All the resin will fill the pockets, and make it quite pointless in having the honeycomb!
sure, honeycomb its double work but its worth
I’ve only used Coremat once and went back to Divinycell. It’s easier to work with & the parts are lighter.
Thanks guys!
check out the coremat/lantor website for company explanations.
its not meant to replace things like honecomb and such
