just looking at Ian's post made me think???

Premium Member Comment by Ian McGlynn on May 12, 2010 at 12:56: 'style plantation' looks like it would be perfect for a bamboo core, pity they don't produce thinner sheets though. bummer, no wa branch either

Comment by dave k on May 12, 2010 at 11:52: " carbatec " supplys vac bag systems ( same type as seen in concrete wave )
they have offices Aust wide , presses will produce better boards as the presure is spread more evenly across the board than with a vac bag .

Premium Member Comment by Owen on May 12, 2010 at 9:48: where do you get them from how much etc.

Premium Member Comment by Matthys on May 12, 2010 at 9:01: anyone tried "styleplantation" bamboo?
the 6.5mm sheets that come in 1220/ 2440??

Comment by Ash on May 11, 2010 at 9:33: much more excess resin can be removed with the use of a vac bag.

Premium Member Comment by Matthys on May 11, 2010 at 9:12: whats the difference when laminating/glassing/ epoxing something in a vac bag vs no bag? pros cons?

Premium Member Comment by Matthys on May 11, 2010 at 9:10: damb, so you need a vac bag which then raises the price up quite a bit

Comment by Daniel Martin on May 11, 2010 at 0:21: if anyone is looking for expanding foam; Blackwoods sell it

@Alex Schulze -hey man.. what kind of epoxy resin are you using? like, what brand etc? cheers

Comment by Norfin Longboards on May 10, 2010 at 19:34: Just be carefull as a lot of foam products do not have inherited strength properties. Most foams require a lot of glass and resin to make them strong.
