Re: need ideas on making a big oven
Probably quite thick... Every autoclave ive ever seen pictures of looked like the internal space was a 1/3 of the actual outside dimension. They are usually cylindrical shaped too, but im sure cmerce would be able to correct me.
I do ALOT of vacuum bagging. I know you said you have done some, but did you do vacuum infusion? Thats the best way to keep the resin to fiber ratio extremely low almost reaching prepreg fabrics.

Looks dope man. Ive just gotten into vacuum infusion and I'm still working out the kinks in my process.
Sorry to thread jack, but cmerce, what type of resin do you use and who do you use for a supplier? I've been going through uscomposites right now. Just looking for a possible alternative... You can PM me if you'd like. I'd appreciate it.

30 psi in a home made box
......30psi in a box that big exploding would not only destroy your garage, but would also kill anything within range of the concusion...It would also get the local bomb squad called to your house for an investigation into WTF were you thinking.....Im by no means an engineer nor do I calim to be, but I can tell you from personal experiences with "pressurized vessels" that you're trying to get yourself killed. IMO you should stick to the oven, and keep working with the vacuum process. Good luck either way

Re: need ideas on making a big oven
do any of you know of any sources for prepreg that will ship small (enough to do a couple hoods) quantities. and how cold does it usually have to be stored.
