Those ships are really beautiful. -----Original Message----- From: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com [mailto:rctankcombat@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Frank Pittelli Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2015 2:22 PM To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [TANKS] fiberglass question
Laying fiberglass "inside" a positive part for reinforcement is a good approach in a lot of cases. That gives you all the strength of a composite part, but eliminates the need for lots of finish work. It also allows you to use thinner hull materials that are easier to work with. All of my wooden sailboat hulls are made like that, http://pittelli.com/schooner/photos/ships/Frank/Wasa/index.html http://pittelli.com/schooner/photos/ships/Frank/Junk/index.html providing a plank-on-frame exterior, with a strong and waterproof interior. The wood exterior is sealed with any number of materials (resin, titebond, polyurethane) and is essentially waterproof, but the epoxy-glass interior guarantees hull integrity even as the wood ages and gets beat up. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
