Are Natural Fibres Viable for Real World Composites Projects? Resin Infusion of a 16’ Flax Canoe

Product links ► Further information and links ▼ In this composites training video, we continue to explore the topic of more sustainable materials in composites by building a full scale (5m/16’) canoe, dubbed the ’Flaxplorer’, using flax fibre, balsa wood and an epoxy bio resin using the resin infusion method. The video focusses on the lamination and infusion of the flax and core but includes fitting out the boat with gunwales, seats and yoke.
