Prepreg vs Wet Laminate: A Pro's Guide to Carbon Fibre Methods

Описание: What's the real difference between wet laminate and prepreg carbon fibre? In this short guide, Shayne breaks down the pros, cons, and professional applications of each method, drawing on decades of experience in America's Cup and high-performance boat building.

If you're working with composites, understanding this choice is critical. We cover:
• Definitions: What makes a true manufacturer's prepreg vs. a "wet preg."
• Curing Temperatures: Why prepreg needs an 80°C+ oven and wet laminate can cure at room temp.
• Working Time: The weeks-long advantage of prepreg for massive projects like hull shells.
• Accuracy & "Sleaze": How Formula 1 uses laser-cut prepreg for precision, and why a material's "drape" can be a double-edged sword.
• The Storage Nightmare: The strict -18°C freezing requirements for commercial prepreg.
