    Teardrop Trailer build

    I was just checking out the AMT website for Curing Data - they reckon at a 2% mix, approximate geltime is 3min and should not be carried out at temps below 15degC - this weekend was cold, no? https://www.amtcomposites.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/P065-TDS.pdf

    Teardrop Trailer build

    90deg corners are always a pain, the glass matt doesnt like sharp corners (internal or external) as it tends to want to lift..... What I have done is apply a layer of resin, let it tack up a bit, then lay the cloth and soak it with additional resin. Pretty sure cold was your issue rather than...

    Very odd... Can only think that either the resin had too little hardener added, or either the resin or hardener had expired, or most likely - its too damn cold!! Seriously, FG likes temps around 23-25degC to sure properly - get it in the weak winter sun in the day if yu can, should cure then...

    High pressure cleaner

    Not wrong - I stand way back with the HP Cleaner around wheel bearings, steering head, swingarm,but cleans plastics lekker! That Karcher K2 is more than adequate and a good price - I use a much smaller K1-100 I got free with a set of tyres about 8 years agi=o....

    Teardrop Trailer build

    NOOOOO!! 🤣😂 Sorry - This is just about the most useful licensed vehicle I own - and unfortunately the company that made them went out of business - a mate of mine has one too, I will ask him if he wants to sell.... Its a Fun-a-Galore Fold-Away - they came with a load of optional accessories at...

    Teardrop Trailer build

    Good call.... Here's the trailer - deck is due for replacement as its 20 years old & lives outside - originally bought for a Quadbike in 2004.... Deck is 1.2x2.4m - the bike-rack bolts on with 4 bolts, dragged a GS1200 to CT on it... Oh, the wheel is off because its on the white van because...

    Teardrop Trailer build

    Many thanks - This gives a good idea. My flat section of my trailer is 1.2x2.4m inside the wheel arches, nut I would add around 75-100mm "overhang" each side to accommodate a series of jack mounting points to lift the body off of the trailer for storage etc... The plyboard - normal weatherproof...

    I am also interested on the frame - all wood? Or a steel skeleton? And the floor dimensions, or the trailer base dimensions? What wood was used for the framing, and what ply for the rest?
