In order to produce a blade the following batches of resin mixture should be
prepared:
Component
Windward half Backward half
Batch 1
Outer layer resin Resin 31-441
400g
560g
Styrene Monomer
40g
56g
Cobalt
2cc 2.7cc
Lowilite
2g 2.7g
Toner (if used)
20-40g
30-60g
Separate pot: Hardener
8cc 11cc
Batch 2
Inner layer resin
Separate pot:
Resin 10-03
Styrene Monomer
Cobalt
Hardener
200g
20g
0.7cc
2.2cc
200g
20g
0.7cc
2.2cc
Batch 3
Inner layer resin
Separate pot:
Resin 10-03
Styrene Monomer
Cobalt
Hardener
200g
20g
0.7cc
2.2cc
200g
20g
0.7cc
2.2cc
These batches can be split further into smaller quantities to avoid the resin
curing before it is applied to the fibre glass, especially if this is the first blade
produced or there are only two people producing the blade. Ensure that the
ratios are kept exactly the same.
Resin mixing process
Although relatively simple, mixing the various components should be carried
out in the correct order and with attention to health and safety. Wear gloves
and goggles.
1. Place the mix pot on the scales. Adjust the scale to read zero. Add
resin.
2. Add the styrene monomer. Mix thoroughly.
