Hallo slotters
Zoals beloofd tijdens de laatste races is er volgend weekend een workshop Lamineren en Mallen maken in Amsterdam.

Hello Slotters
As promised during the last races there will be a Mold making and Lamination workshop in Amsterdam next weekend

Tijdens de workshop zal ik uitleg geven over hoe je een siliconen mal maakt en hoe je daarna een body lamineert.
Ook is er de mogenlijkheid om tijdens dat weekend je eigen siliconen mal te maken en een body te lamineren (het is tenslotte een werk shop). Het is de bedoeling dat je na deze workshop zelfstandig thuis aan de gang kunt gaan.

During the workshop I will explain how to make a silicone mold and how you laminate a body. During the weeekend there's the possebility to make your own mold and laminate your own body (after all it is a work shop)
Goal of the workshop is that you'll be able to make your own mold's and laminations @ home

Gezien de droogtijdens van de mallen en bodies die er tijdens de workshop gemaakt gaan worden heb je het hele weekend nodig, overnachting in Amsterdam (of nabije omgeving) is dus noodzakelijk.

Due to the curing time of both the silicone and the laminations you will need the whole weekend so an overnight stay in Amsterdam (or Amsterdam area) is neccesary

Daar er voor diegenen die aan de workshop deelenemen materialen moeten worden gehaald (Epoxyhars, glasvezel & carbon matjes, etc ) is het van belang dat ik weet wie er gaan komen.

As we will have to order materials (Epxoyresin, GFK and Carbon etc) for those attending the workshop, it is important that we know who will come

Dus graag even een mailtje naar mij of een berichtje in dit draadje, ook als je hulp nodig hebt voor het vinden van een slaap plaats.


So if you want to attend this workshop, please confirm that your coming via this thread. Do you need help finding acommodation..post here as well

Hi Tamar,

Regards

Udo

Tamar, what are the chance you, or Gabe/Wellen/Nick could maybe video the processes?? For me especially, this would be a huge wealth of knowledge, and I'd be prepared to pay for the Video etc naturally?

Please try and see if this can be done..

Best regards

Al

...killed the radio stars....
...and Skype killed video

Boet..as an IT man shame on you video ......how outdated
I'll be too busy to make a video this weekend, but as an idea, in the future we might get a small webcam and do a Skype session..one on one...interactive.....
Today's technology

Hi Tamar

I also wait for video stars...
I can´t travel for the worshop... We have the first race of Spanish Model-Cars in La Rioja (you remenber the wines...)

Best regards

Hi All and Alvaro

I will be there,and will make a photoshoot of the things we do
Edit with explaining how we did it.
Would that be of any help ?

Greetz Gert

Thank you Gert

I wait for your tutorial...
I hope see you again in Alsdorf.

Best regards

For those who don't know where the Hotslot factory resides

Gert,
that WILL be cool, and MOST helpful.. I don't think Mr T understands that we're still in 3rd World Africa, and BANDWIDTH will not be sufficient for "todays technology".. Plus, a Video of the processes could be a worthwhile fundraising excercise in disguise..

But, ANYTHING will most appretiated guys..

Be cool.

Workshop Gallery Pictures



If there's stuff in the pictures you have questions about, just post the pic here with your remark.
Gert, Gabe or I will try to explain.

Note: Gert you can use these images for your article, just go to the pic you want to use and open it in a new window and copy paste the URL in the article.
You can see what other html code you need in the other articles

good luck

Tamar

Thank`s for the pictures, my friends...
Now only waith for Gert`s explanais...

Thank you

Thanks Tamar,
So most of this I've covered over here. I'd say biggest difference is the material being used really.. I was hoping to see the actual laminating with "fibre" etc.. although there are some pics of it, I'm ok with all of this. Basically I need to get a different compound of resin available here, something with a longer potlife and curing times, which will allow me to work onto the mold while still "tacky" to get the fbre properly impregnated.

Will look at trying this again then in the future. Thanks for the Pics.

Greetz

Al

I'm at this moment still in Germany so cant work on the report
I hope to finish it ASAP
It's the life of a Int truckdriver I never know when I'm home.

Greetz Gert

Hi. Did you make an article/report Gert? Is this still available somwhere?

Thanks
