GAvette 04-13-2010, 05:48 PM few more pixs on the progress... http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee41/1sniperjay/fiberbox6.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee41/1sniperjay/fiberbox5.jpg Shagster 04-14-2010, 05:09 PM That is a nice bike in the pic................. O and the box looks good to. GAvette 04-14-2010, 05:18 PM Thanks for both comments. I havent been on the bike in a few weeks though. Need to get out of the garage more. Shagster 04-14-2010, 05:32 PM Don't you ever say that again Shagster 04-14-2010, 05:47 PM If you don't know all ready mix 70% resin and 30% bondo. It will be allot easier to sand and will self level a little better. Sanding with 80 grit in between every coat helps. Use the same amount of resin hardener... don't change that. mtndv8 04-15-2010, 06:38 AM Very creative GAvette!! Full suspension Mongoose?? :patriot: If you don't know all ready mix 70% resin and 30% bondo. It will be allot easier to sand and will self level a little better.

So you first mix the epoxy at recommended ratios then mix the bondo the same, and then blend them 70/30?? Will this work with epoxy resin? (...and the carbon fiber project I'm working on...?)

Mahalo :abduct: Mix the resin and bondo first then add resin hardener last. (70% resin and 30% bondo) If you don't add the hardener last it will start to set before you get it all on. Fiberglass resin and bondo is all I have been doing. mtndv8 04-15-2010, 12:58 PM Mix the resin and bondo first then add resin hardener last.

Hey GAvette, wasn't trying to highjack your thread, but it seems like a good time to pick Shagster's brain... Cool! Thanks again Shags! Do you get the same pot/working time or does it change? The epoxy resin I'm currently using gives me 20-30mins and I'd hate to get less than 20. I'll run a test mix this weekend, but thought you might have some input about that...

Shagster 04-15-2010, 04:17 PM It should not change that much... If anything it will shorten it a little. I would say it just depends on how much hardener you use.

Mahalo :abduct: Oh ya, its full suspension...really great on the trails by my house. mtndv8 04-15-2010, 08:33 PM No problem, the more info we can squeeze out of Shagster the better...lol. :thumbsup: :cheers: It should not change that much... If anything it will shorten it a little. I would say it just depends on how much hardener you use. I'm using a Shell resin and TETA hardner mixed at 100g/15.4g. with 32 minutes of work time at 70*F, a little longer at 60*. I'll try a small 1/2 size batch of 50grams of resin mixed into 22grams of bondo, then add 7.7grams of hardner, to keep my resin/hardner mix the same and let you know what happens... :thumbsup3: :abduct: mtndv8 04-15-2010, 08:43 PM Oh ya, its full suspension...really great on the trails by my house. :sm_party::sm_party::sm_party: I love my Diamondback V6 DBR! The wife rides a Santa Cruz Juliana SL with disc brakes. Full suspension is the way to go! http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww22/mtndv8/Misc/IMG_0426.jpg http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww22/mtndv8/Misc/IMG_0422.jpg :abduct: | |
