hey guys, im working for a prof. in my aerospace dept. He told me to work on a rocket solid booster tank. And i know you guys are more motorsport oriented, but i was wondering if you guys can help me out.
My prof wanted me to wind a filament around a PVC and then cure it in an oven around 140 degrees for 2 days. Then i can take out the filament out of the PVC.
The problem is, the lab manager of the composite lab wouldnt let me cure the filament and the PVC in the oven. The fume from heating up the PVC is very toxic according to the lab manager.
So i have to find a way of winding up the filamet around a tube, be able to cure it in an oven, and be soft enough that by the time it is cured, i can release the filament out of the tube.
You guys have any idea on what material i can use? My friend suggested a drawing tube (tubes that you put your drawings in) that is made out of cardboards. But i would think it will be burnt up just like regular papers.
Any ideas?
