Hi,
I'm sorry to come here with a question which is not knives related, but I've found many informatino on your forum about micarta scales a few months ago, and it made me want to make micarta façades for my loudspeakers and amplifer housing parts.
I really like the ivory G10 scales I saw on this forum, unfortunately the pictures has been removed from photobucket. The scales were grinded and polished, but you still could see the texture of the glass fabric, this is what I want to achieve.
The questions are :
-What epoxy must we use ?
-What is the minimum thickness I should use (I'll be only covering some MDF loudspeakers, so all I need it that it look nice)
-How to calculate the quantity of epoxy I need ? Normally from laminates, 70% of the weight is epoxy, 30% is fabric. Knowing the density of fiber and resin, you can easyly calculate the weight of each one. But here we use a press to compress the laminate, so I guess that most of the weight is fabric ?
-How much pressure must we apply ?
Regards,
Jaune.
