Just bought all the kit to give this a go myself, thanks for the great guide video! What sort of plywood did you use as the "tool" surface? I'm worried about the resin keying into normal ply, even with release agent and ruining a project that's quite expensive in terms of materials.

Glad it helped. its phenolic ply (buffalo board) glass is best. but any shiny surface will work

Not sure the dimensions of that diffuser but I know you can get vacuum storage bags for Queen size mattresses

Hey! Great video mate! I have 1 question, can this be done by infusion using that core foam? I have made some parts before but the lower face doesn’t get infused, and I believe it’s because the foam it’s not breathable and resin will not get to the first 3 layers of carbon. In your Kevlar splitter video I saw the foam you use have little holes. Will this be the help for the first layers? Can I make holes to the foam I’m using so they get infused? Thanks for the tips!

Yes, absolutely. foam needs holes for infusion. can be drilled manualy.

Considering the amount of time and effort yes expect a hefty price tag.

Really enjoyed that. What was the weight saving vs the old splitter in the end?

@@RuskiWeldFab Cool, will check that out now 👍🏻

When you ran the vacuum pump to remove the air, how long did you have the pump running on that splitter? Was it a matter of running the pump continuously for the cure time, and the droning noise was just edited out for time? Or did you get to the pressure drop you wanted, measured by a gauge, and then shut the valve on the line, check for leaks, and leave it be to cure?

@RuskiWeldFab

On this splitter I had it running for about 4-5h because we couldn’t eliminate all air escaping places. We tried. Once it cured enough I switched it off. But most of the time, YES. Get the pressure, shut it off, check for leaks and leave as is. In the ideal world lol

have an idea for the channel, what about making a shish kebab while making a carbon fiber splitter, the tit would be a mechanic and a cooking show, twice as much audience
