http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280178620496 TYPES OF FABRIC WEAVES
In this most simple weave pattern, warp and fill yarns are interlaced over and under each other in alternating fashion. The plain weave provides good stability, porosity and the least yarn slippage for a given yarn count. The mock leno weave is used where relatively low numbers of yarns are involved. The leno weave locks the yarns in place by crossing two or more warp threads over each other and interlacing with one or more filling threads. The four harness satin weave is more pliable than the plain weave and is easier to conform to curved surfaces typical in reinforced plastics. In this weave pattern there is a three by one interfacing where a filling yarn floats over three warp yarns and under one. The eight harness satin is similar to the four harness satin except that one filling yarn floats over seven warp yarns and under one. This is a very pliable weave and is used for forming over curved surfaces. This twill weave is more pliable than the plain weave and has better drapability while maintaining more fabric stability than a four or eight harness satin weave. The weave pattern is characterized by a diagonal rib created by one warp yarn floating over at least two filling yarns. Satin Weave Style For Countoured Parts Fabricating
These styles of fabrics are one of the easiest fabrics to use and it is ideal for laying up cowls, fuselages, ducts and other contoured surfaces with minimal distortions. The fabric is more pliable and can comply with complex contours and spherical shapes. Because of its tight weave style, satin weaves are typically used as the surface ply for heavier and courser weaves. This technique helps reduce fabric print through and requires less gel coat to create a smoother surface.
Use this weave style cloth when high strength parts are desired. It is ideal for reinforcement, mold making, aircraft and auto parts tooling, marine and other composite lightweight applications.  The principal role of the resin is to bind the fabric into a homogenous rigid substrate called a composite laminant or FRP- FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC.
The epoxy resin used in farbricating a laminant will dictate how the FRP will perform when load or pressure is implied on the part.

Step Three: Proper Lay-Up Technique
Pre-lay-up notes
Mix the proper amount of resin needed and be accurate proportioning the resin and curing agent. Adding more curing agent than the recommended mix ratio will not promote a faster cure. Over saturation or starving the fiberglass or any composite fabric will yield poor mechanical performance. Don't how much resin to use to go with the fiberglass? A good rule of thumb is to maintain a minimum of 30 to 35% resin content by weight, this is the optimum ratio used in high performance prepreg (or pre-impregnated fabrics) typically used in aerospace and high performance structural application. For general hand lay-ups, use 60% fabric weight to 40% resin weight as a safe factor. Place the entire precut fiberglass to be used on a scale and determine the weight. Typical fabric weights regardless of weave pattern 1 yard of 8 OSY fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams 1 yard of 10 OSY fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams Ounces per square yard or OSY is also know as aerial weight which is the most common unit of measurement for composite fabrics. If a scale is available, measuring by weight will insure better composite fabrication and repeatability, rather than using OSY data. To determine how much resin is needed to adequately impregnate the fiberglass, use the following equation: (Total Weight of Fabric divided by 60%) X( 40%)= weight of mixed resin needed fw = fabric weight rc = target resin content rn= resin needed (fw/60%)x(.40%)= rn (224 grams of dry fiberglass / 60%) X 40% = 149.3 grams of resin needed So for every square yard of 8 ounce fabric, you will need 4.50 fluid ounces of mixed resin. Common Factors Of 100% Solids (Zero volatiles and unfilled epoxy resin) 1 gallon of resin = 4239 grams (1.12 g/cc) 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces 1 fluid ounce of resin = 33.17 grams NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND This is one of the most common processing error that yields sub-standard laminant.
By laying the fiberglass unto a film of resin, less air bubbles are entrapped during the wetting-out stage.
Air is pushed up and outwards instead of forcing the resin through the fabric which will entrap air bubbles. This technique will displace air unhindered and uniformly disperse through out the fiberglass with minimal mechanical agitation or spreading.

Given enough time and the proper selection of the fabric's surface treatment (fabric to resin compatibility), a dry fabric will seek a state equilibrium and distribute the applied resin and naturally release air bubbles entrapped within the laminant. It is then very important that the proper viscosity, working time and surface treatment of the fabric must considered. There are also fabricating techniques that can be employed to yield high performance laminants. Depending on the size of the part, processes such as high pressure pressing, vacuum bagging and vacuum assisted resin transfer molding are superior methods over hand wet lay-up.
Air voids or porosity within the laminate is typically where failure propagates when load is applied (fracturing, compression failure, tearing, tourque, tensile stength, creep).
Step Four: Proper Curing
Allow the lay-up to cure for 24 hours before handling. Optimum cured properties can take up to 7 days depending on the ambient cure condition. The ideal temperature cure condition of most room temperature epoxy resin is 22 to 27 degrees Celsius at 20% relative humidity. Higher ambient curing temperatures will promote faster polymerization and development of cured mechanical properties.
Improving mechanical performance via post heat cure
A short heat post cure will further improve the mechanical performance of most epoxy resins. In general room temperature cured epoxy resin has a maximum operating temperature of 250°F and 160°F under stress or load. Some darkening or yellowing of the epoxy resin may occur if over exposed to high temperature (>250 F). MAX CLR is resistant to amine blush but curing any epoxy resin at high humdity will create amine blush. Do not mix the resin when the ambient humdity is above 60%
AMINE BLUSH The affinity of an amine compound (curing agent) to moisture and carbon dioxide creates a carbonate compound and forms what is called amine blush. Amine blush is a wax-like layer that forms as most epoxies cure If the epoxy system is cured in extreme humidity (>70%), it will be seen as a white and waxy layer that must be removed by physical sanding of the surface followed by an acetone wipe.

During the polymerization process, energy is released in the form of heat, this is called exothermic reaction. This heat energy can be an accelerant to the curing process which will shorten the pot life or working time depending on how confined the mass of the reacting polymer, for example: Mix and pour about 200 grams of Part A resin to 100 grams Curing Agent or Part B per stage casting until the desired thickness is achieved. Allow 2 to 4 hours in between staged casting or until the prior pour has cooled to below 30 degrees Celcius before pouring the next volume. No sanding is needed in between cast and allow to cure for at least 36 hours before demolding. CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO PAUSE OR PLAY SLIDE SHOW CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO PAUSE OR PLAY SLIDE SHOW
