Heat Blanket Layup
Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2018 12:54 pm
I am working on a new formblock layup and will install heat blankets on top
of the mdf formblocks. I have been told that it is good to put a piece of uncured fiberglass on both sides of the blanket to keep from burning the formblocks if they over heat or short. I was thinking of adding a layer of ptex on both sides that would encapsulate the heat blankets and the fiberglass. A sheet of metal would go on top of the layers. Do you think that the heat would cause any issues with flatness when the skis are pressed due to the ptex getting soft?
