How to make a Carbon Fibre cover. OFFSET MOULD Using Sheetwax (Carbon Fiber)

[@Nice70851]

What's thinking about making my own carbon parts and your videos are really helpful!

[@ThatOneChannelinAZ]

Finally another no non Since carbon channel i like the captions and work being done.

[@MIKEZGAMER-g8b]

How long & temp of the oven process ?

[@danllana8664]

I don’t think we have access to some of the products used in the US, but wish I could copy this exactly.

[@ExadousPT]

😍 Perfect fitment! you make it look so easy, damn you 😆

[@2098662]

So clean. What’s your go to epoxy?

[@joebloggs4191]

By adding this to cover the original panel wouldn’t it stick out ever so slightly from the other car panels?

[@CarbonWorkshops]

Yes, but only by the thickness of the carbon fibre which is about 1mm cured so not really noticable.

[@IngeBall]

Always nice to see a new release from you!

[@TheShaddix]

Do you think this pattern coat primer can be used on 3d printed molds as the final surface of the mold? Or is it not durable enough?

[@CarbonWorkshops]

Possible! Worth checking out with the supplier

[@smnkm4ehfer]

So why make it an offset mold? Instead if replicating the part 1:1?

[@smnkm4ehfer]

Oh there it is, nm, you're not making a replica out of CF, you're making a cover

[@humbertholzmann674]

morning.excelent job. one question. I bought carbon fiber and polyester resin only. Do I need gelcoat to wrap an interior plastic piece of my car or could I use the same resin? thank you in advance

[@flyingrugman]

what method you do for this video? vacuum infusion method or wetlay method

[@scottmoto]

Cool video. For me, if I am not going to produce several of these and just cap the existing on like you did, I would just make carbon fiber directly on the part. Same difference but cheaper and save time. I'm assuming. I am completely new to this. Thoughts?

[@yogieakhmad4260]

what is other name for wax sheet? ilooking in my city i never found. thx sir

[@CarbonWorkshops]

High temperature sheet wax

[@smogman2084]

Thank you very much. Ich just want to start now and try to make some parts for my motorcycle.

[@240Tony]

Like a glove!

[@jeffp.5080]

That sheet Wax is cool. I thought for a minute it was worbla

[@drunktortila3632]

Hi, if you were going to make a one off say car fender, what process would you use to make a mould? Cheers

[@CarbonWorkshops]

Probably the same method as this video, you could ditch the aluminium powder and use a normal vinyester gel coat if you planed of making the fedner by resin infusion process as the mould wouldn't need to get so hot.

[@Dennis_spl]

Hi, why didn't you make the mold directly on the wax sheet?

[@CarbonWorkshops]

Because the finish the wax leaves in the mould requires alot of Sanding to get flat. And it's very awkward and time consuming

[@Dennis_spl]

@@CarbonWorkshops I with 3 coats of PVA on the wax sheet the mold is pretty good.

[@theELiTEboarder]

How many layers of fiber did you use to get about 1mm thickness? I'm looking into making A pillar covers and I'm not sure if I want to use 1mm or 2mm thick sheet wax and how many layers of fiber to use. I'm thinking I will vacuum bag it or possibly just start with hand layup

[@CarbonWorkshops]

I used 1 layer 210g and 1 layer of 416g prepreg carbon fibre. You would need to experiment as wet lay will generally be slightly thicker.

[@carguy84]

What release spray wax do you use?

[@CarbonWorkshops]

Rw4 from easy composites

[@pedroalmodovar6709]

Where did you get that sheet of wax??? Thanks!!!

[@CarbonWorkshops]

Easy composites

[@RogerGJager]

Why use a Gel Coat from different company as other material?

[@CarbonWorkshops]

Their gel coat isn't very compatible with prepreg carbon fibre

[@RogerGJager]

@@CarbonWorkshops thanks for reply. So, for use with regular CF and not Prepreg is ok, theirs Gel coat?

[@zsakosbimbo4383]

I have not seen how comes off the carbon stuff .....???

[@DragonEyeOfficial]

saddly the cover seem to interfere with the opening of the door 😓

[@Igor.S08]

Почему в начале наносшь стекло ткань, а в конце получается карбон? Предлагаю наклеить сразу карбон.

[@CarbonWorkshops]

No carbon has been added. All made from chopstrand matting.

[@Igor.S08]

@@CarbonWorkshops как вы объясните по итогу карбоновый рисунок на крышке? И в названии ролика написано (Как сделать Карбоновый Чехол).

[@garyengland5326]

The op has made a mould, and then used that mould to make a carbon fibre cover. It's not skinning

[@Igor.S08]

@@garyengland5326 понятно.

[@mdrasshid85]

Good you
