DIY Carbon Fibre Pump Board PART 1

14 year old Olly has been collecting scraps of foam and carbon from our Paikea refit and has decided the time has come to make his own carbon pump board. The skills he has been learning helping with the modifications on Paikea means that he is already familiar with materials and processes so this is the logical next step for him. He has done a fantastic job filming the process so you can all follow along with the build.... and listen as Shayne gives guidance throughout this very cool project. Tune in next week to see the next steps Materials used for this project can be found at Easy Composites EU @easycompositestv MATERIALS LIST PVC CLOSE CELL FOAM https://www.easycomposites.eu/easycell75-closed-cell-pvc-foam EL2 EPOXY LAMINATING RESIN WITH BOTH SLOW AND FAST HARDENERS https://www.easycomposites.eu/el2-epoxy-laminating-resin CARBON FIBRE CLOTH 200G https://www.easycomposites.eu/200g-black-stuff-22-twill-3k-carbon-fibre-cloth *we are still experimenting with this - it may be worth going a heavier cloth as we have flex in the board BREATHER FABRIC https://www.easycomposites.eu/breather-fabric VAC BAG https://www.easycomposites.eu/vb160-vacuum-bagging-film PEEL PLY https://www.easycomposites.eu/pp180-peel-ply TACKY TAPE https://www.easycomposites.eu/vacuum-bagging-sealant-tape PERFORATED RELEASE FILM https://www.easycomposites.eu/r120-perforated-release-film MORE INFORMATION can be found on our website https://youngbarnacles.com MUSIC https://www.youtube.com/
