Hi Rich ..... I guess there won't be many on this part of the forum that need an extra one as only those committed to the CF tank project have access to this sub-forum.morepower wrote: ALTHOUGH, I did have one problem with one section of the new mould I made which had some air trapped under the surface layer. So when I cured it at a low temp (Tooling cures at 65 Degrees C) it was fine but when I had to cure the fuel tank the material needs a much higher temp and the air expanded the surface layer causing a bump in the mould (dent in the tank). SO I do have one with a flaw where the seat pad and tank meet. SO If ANYONE wants that one for a discounted price you can have it gladly. If not, I will sell it via eBay as it has no issues apart from the cosmetic flaw and would be fine for someone to use.
It has gone to be lacquered already. So here are two photos of the flaws before it went to lacquer.
I am offering it here so if anyone wants it they can have it. I dont want to put it up on eBay without you guys knowing why it is up on there and feel I am selling anything off cheap as it is flawed and I do not want to scrap it.
You might want to advertise it in the "Aprilia Items For Sale" part of the forum for everyone to see - someone who couldn't run to the full price of a CF tank may be interested in a B-grade at a discount.
Would be a good way of waking the rest of the forum up to the fact that the initial run of tanks is almost complete and that people can contact you to discuss the possibility of them getting one (if they miss out on the one with the imperfection)
