I mentioned Bondo only so that you could practice before switching to epoxy resin and fiberglass reinforcing. Bondo is brittle and will crack. However, the polyester resin she is currently using might work with the addition of some stiffener. Get some fiberglass matting and try using her resin to mold an insulator. The stuff is not really suitable for electrical or outdoor use, but might be worth testing since you have some. Remember, the strength is in the fiberglass matting or rod stiffeners, not in the resin. http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=75 If it doesn't work, at least you'll have the most colorful antenna insulators in the neighborhood. Maybe imbed some LED's or neon lamps for a Christmas tree effect. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
