REINFORCEMENTS PREPARATION
My first step was too prepare the different reiforcements types by cutting felt offcuts with the help of lasercut machine to reduce them in particles and stripes.
I used both synthetic and protein based fiber (wool) felt.

MATRIX PREPARATION
The second step was to prepare the bioresin and the epoxy resin.
I prepared the bioresin first using a bioplastic recipe from
I was pretty sure to obtain a good results with a gelatine base recipe due to the tests made during week06.<br/>

and I immediately brushed it on the reinforcing material.
In the case of the plot, I brushed it front and back, overlapping two layers in the box. in the case of the particles, I soaked them directly in the bioplastic solution, mixing well and then filling the wooden box with them. In the latter case I applied pressure with clamps during the two days of drying. In the case of the plot I tried a vacuum but the bag didn't work.
