I am tendering an unreserved apology to every member of the "house" to have absconded for a little while, my job is demanding and i had to input more hours these days, cos the project is running to an end,, I hope my excuse is tenable to all,,
Thanks.

@ALL,

GEOMETRY IS COMING HOME, !!!
HOME SWEET HOME,
DEALS, ! DEALS!!, DEALS!!!

ANYBODY SEEKING MAXIMUM SIGNAL ON 3M DISH, IMPROVED METHODOLOGY IN FABRICATION TO MAXIMISE RECEPTIONS,

THE OFFER LAST TILL I RETURN ABROAD,
THANK YOU ALL.

, SHOOT THE BIRDS,

@ Iron2011,

Thank you for appreciating the tokens of idea on building the dishes, and i think i like the saying too, about hitting the birds and building the dishes, lol. , is interesting !

@ ALL,
the mixing techniques vary from what time of the day you are casting to how fast or slow you want the process to be. in pix,  i doubt if i will be able to produce that for now, but by simple illustration, anybody that is ready can let us go. somebody like dodo appreciate too much of picture and sometimes i wonder if all other explanation has a meaning to him.[DODO , I  know a lot of us are like that, and plz, don't take this to be an insult, remember we are all catching fun in what we like to do] but I will try my best in simple illustration to make sure we get somewhere.
Reason for non availability of your request in pix is that I am far away from home and I am not in touch with those materials right now.

BASICALLY, we have four major components of fiber glass,

resin - colorless, just like ''ororo'' vegetable oil.
catalyst - is actually a family of peroxide , it has a color of water
accelerator - deep blue color, like ''jellu''
fiber matte  - a kind of weaven clothing of fiber strands. you can spread and cut with scissors over the mold surface.

the first three come in liquid form,  with resin been more viscous.,
now if you have a resin of 1 liter , for an average slow curing process, and for a beginner in a cool day, add two spoonful of accelerator and mix thoroughly, , that's, the colorless resin now is being pigmented by deep blue coloration of accelerator,, then  add one spoonful of cataotlyst , the one that has the color of water , so to say, by the way , you must have your brush ready and presumably prepare your fiber matte on the mold for casting.
from this simple analysis we can infer that accelerator and catalyst are in ratio 2:1 respectively.

WARNING, don't dare mix catalyst and accelerator together , the reaction is highly exothermic and EXPLOSIVE !

THEN , you must have water and detergent by your side to wash off the mixture from the brush after casting to preserve it.
as time goes by, you will be able to judge and mix similar proportion of the mixture but in large volume.

HINT:
always mix your resin and accelerator first, then latter add catalyst and mix the three.
DO NEVER MIX CATALYST AND ACCELERATOR TOGETHER AT FIRST, IT IS DANGEROUS !

the names given names given of these materials are the market names , they have standard chemical names that might not be of importance to us for now.
thank you all.

DODOS, plz, i expect more questions from you, my friend.
everyone, bye for now.

@ Newtonn,

All sizes of dish are mold-able and installable, that is just the fact. But there are always factors that determine what size you want and all ,,

@ all,

@ Newtoon,
hook me up on facebook, : salami olalekan

@ALL'

PLZ, DON'T MIND THE DATE ON THE CAMERA. IT WAS NOT SET. THIS TOOK PLACE SOMETIMES IN JANUARY 2011 OR SO.

That is a 5500mm [5.5m] dish, as was made. Hope everyone enjoys the ride !,makings of the smaller dishes become highly simplified, don't you think its a WHOLE lot of fun.
Well, if you ask me what I think , i'd say its fun.

THANKS ALL.
GEOMETRY. !!!
