I just hung up with CST...they don't sell honeycomb anymore. Who else supplies it in small quantities?

A friend of mine Michele Zamboni have Nomex and Erex, you try to send an email to www.sorvolandocompositi.it

Thanks fellas... I took a look at it appears they are using 8oz glass on both side of these panels... I was actually looking for the nomex itself for a custom layup that's hopefully a bit lighter....
maybe I'm chasing windmills here?

If you look at the second ACP link you'll see they also have CF weave and CF unidirectional Nomex panels. I have used these and they are pretty light and not terribly expensive.

Mark, what size do you need? I have a few scraps that are 12" X 2.5" and are 3/16 thick. It is possible to intermingle the cells and make wider sheets, it's just not as pretty.

Dig a little deeper and you should find a couple different types of honeycomb. They offer 1/8" and 3/16" openings in thicknesses from .060 to .500 and up to 4'X8' sheets. Their 3/16" opening material is on sale

Matt's right (as usual...just don't let it go to your head) http://www.acpsales.com/Standard-Cel...comb-SALE.html

MarkGrabowski

Yep, you guys are right, I didn't dig deep enough....

Matt, what thickness and cell diameter do you recommend? (for servo trays, battery trays, etc)

Mark,

Weight comes primarily from the reinforcing layers not the honeycomb thickness. 1/16" to 1/2" will weigh nearly the same finished. I would use 1/4" with 2.4-3 oz glass on both sides. It is stiffer than 1/16 or 1/8 and the weight penalty is very slight. Just don't go nuts with the epoxy. I sandwich the glassed honeycomb between 1/64" mylar skins and vacuum bag. I'll show how in my Derivative thread. If you don't have vacuum source, no biggie, sandwich the glassed comb between layers of waxed glass. Part All wax is the best for this and most any parting you want to do

For Nomex or Aramid Honeycombs try these remnant guys. https://sites.google.com/site/honeycombhobby/

Mark, I have some 1/8" thick 1/4" cell material that I am selling at very reasonable prices. I still have a couple full 4'X8' sheets left but will sell whatever size you need. PM if interested. Just noticed this is an old thread.....oh well
