This small, low-cost Vacuum Leak Indicator is a very handy visual indicator that there is a leak in your vacuum bag or vacuum equipment which uses an ultra-low friction vane rotated by very tiny amounts of airflow. In this short video we demonstrate how to correctly use it in your setups for fast vacuum bagging checks.
VB160 is a high quality, general purpose vacuum bagging film with excellent elongation, flexibility and puncture resistance. It is suitable for ambient temperature, oven and autoclave curing up to a maximum temperature of 160°C. We cover its lay flat tube format, width options, buying options, correct handling and alternative films.
We cover the simple process of heat sealing vacuum bags such as the Easy Composites VB160 and the type of heat sealer you will want to use. This alternative method is much faster, more reliable, cheaper and uses less consumables as there's no sealant tape required.
FusionFix™ GP2 and EP are the market leading spray adhesives for advanced composites, but they work in quite different ways. This in-depth product spotlight video explains the different chemistry, behaviour and recommended uses of these two products to help users make the right choice and get the most from these unique products. For positioning of reinforcements, core materials and bagging consumables, using polyester, vinylester and epoxy resin systems, FusionFix GP2 is arguably the best general purpose composites spray adhesive on the market. FusionFix EP's unique epoxy-based formula makes it ideal for tacking reinforcement directly to the mould surface in epoxy infusions, including cosmetically critical surface plies such as carbon and natural fibres.
FusionFix GP2 and EP are available from Easy Composites for fast delivery to most countries worldwide:
In this video we look at the EA700 Epoxy Toolboard Adhesive, ideal for reliable bonding and matched machining characteristics when bonding together one or more blocks of epoxy tooling board.

If you're thinking of investing in a proper set of shears or scissors for composites use then this product spotlight video looks at the range of professional composites shears, scissors and snips available from Easy Composites. In this video we look at the special features of our scissors and shears when cutting carbon fibre and other composite reinforcements. We also look at our Kevlar/aramid shears and discuss what makes them different from our regular composites shears, when and if you need them, and how to look after them if you choose to buy a pair. We also look at our small composites snips which are handy for making small, precise cuts 'in-mould' when laminating prepregs.
At the end of the video, we look at care and maintenance of your scissors or shears to keep them in the best working order, and also how to sharpen them should you need to.
