What if you want to be able to remove the original piece after doing several layers for the purpose of actually saving weight

What extra steps are required to use a matte clear coat?

@KanjiasDev 7 ай бұрын

This (with maybe more then one layer) can also be used to repair cracks in most materials, right? I'm asking because I got a Canadian canoe which is made from plywood and my idea is to repair it with carbon fiber.

@heinrichhagen43 4 ай бұрын

Usually when repairing carbon parts you need a few extra layers like you suggest. But the extra epoxy needs to be vacuumed out. Otherwise you do not have that 60:40 carbon to epoxy ratio which is ideal

‏For the first time, I bought carbon fiber fabric and epoxy resin. Can I make the spoiler of my car carbon fiber? Please, someone who knows, tell me the simple steps of the work. I have seen a video on KZbin. Where should I do it? How many times and how many layers should I apply epoxy after gluing the carbon fiber? And my spoiler has color, do I have to remove the color completely or is it enough to sand it so that scratches are created? Thank you for your help

Would you need to remove the fake leather and foam on a center console arm rest to wrap that? Or do you wrap over it?

@johnmichaels4330 11 ай бұрын

Remove everything to skin it. Leave it there if making a mold.

how is the base coat resin different to the later applied resin? (except colour ofc), I have bought a supposedly full set for skinning but there is only one type of resin and hardener

@mivgy6555 4 ай бұрын

Did you find an answer I have the same question

@kamdawg93 3 ай бұрын

Laminating resin, sanding resin, and gloss resin can be made from the same thing. The brand I use: mix hardner catalyst to laminate, add wax chemical to make it sanding resin, and I add a lot of catalyst and pour the resin hot when it's super thin for gloss coat. Every resin system has their own additives or products. I mix resin by weight with a little cheapy digital scale.

Did you use clear coat at the end of the process? Isn’t 120 grit sand paper rough for this process??

@higherwrldsprodction2955 Жыл бұрын

If youre laying carbon just for appeal then you want a mechanical bond with the part to the resin. My understanding of skinning is using one layer to mold the carbon and then prying it off and enforcing the back for a 100% carbon piece. This process defeats the purpose of using carbon... if you are trying to make a full carbon piece either you want to create a mold OR polish the piece you want to make carbon from 800 grit to say 3000grit to polishing. Add release agents, lay down 1 or 2 layers then pry it off the part and enforce on the inside or back of the part.

I have yet to try this but I would think you would account for that when cutting your CF, press it down into those spots at the drill out the screw holes once it’s dried.

could you use a spray on glue instead of that black stuff please

@heinrichhagen43 4 ай бұрын

The epoxy desolves spray glue. The moment you wet the carbon it will come loose and create bubbles where you have tight corners or sharp edges on the part you want to wrap

@andrewparsons2178 3 жыл бұрын

Agree but i also will argue i have a 370z, i spent 1300usd for a carbon hood with poor fitment but a reputable company.... and it was heavier then my OEM hood LOL so the fact that someone could skin there OEM hood and have OEM fitment is a +1 plus people would never know because it's not a wrap :P so i sold the hood and i'm going to skin my OEM :)

This is a great demo! I like your use of the semi-permeable membrane for a resin break. The whole idea of turning the vacuum off before the part is gelled makes me crazy - even if it sometimes works!
