:: View topic - Homemade prepregs?

As the subject may have lead you to believe, i have been toying with the idea of making my own prepregs...is this feasable? Anyone have any experience doing this? I am hoping its as simple as resining a bunch of sheets of glass or carbon, then sandwiching them between release film and sticking them in a freezer (what temp exactly?)...any specific type of resin? Also, anyone ever use a bath/roller system to wet out fabric? I am looking at a "Shop Wringer with Rinse Tub" in Harbor Freight and wondering if i can eliminate the squegee!

Thoughts, comments?

What is that for?

I suppose prepreg is used by industry that use a huge amount of material each day, so they save some time in the impregnation process.

I think even small ski/snowboard manufacturer do not use prepreg.

Just found this website and SWEET!!!!! The more I read the cooler it gets, but looking to see if anyone has built a carving board yet and if so, was it a successful mission and I would be interested in disucssion you steps in effectively getting it done.

Thanks
