HOW TO MAKE CARBON FIBER LAMINATIONS TO BOW MAKING

[@labtrainer09]

Using the thick glass plates for the lamination was VERY clever thinking and seems to have produced good laminates. My boat-building experience strongly suggests that if you see an increase in the number of customers who want carbon fiber in their limbs and/or risers, an investment in a vacuum pump, peel ply, etc. would quickly pay for itself in reduced labor, the elimination of "sticking and prying," and even better saturation and carbon-to-resin ratios. For the average amateur bow builder, however, your method is close to perfect. It MIGHT be worth experimenting with one or two of the more advanced mold-release compounds to see if the laminate would "let go" of the glass more easily than with the car wax (or whatever) that you used. Just a thought, Chris (Maine, USA)

Do you reckon that two thick pieces of glass is the easiest way to create enough pressure? I am a fairly amateur Bowyer but love the look of carbon fibre on bows and seems to be a good material as well. Any advice?

[@tobiefick5147]

enjoy your show.yeah would love to see the bow finished

[@IndianaBows]

Thanks. I'll do it.

[@drrockenbach]

Show de bola. Duas dúvidas. É cera automotiva que tu usou para não grudar a resina no vidro? E depois usou solvente para limpar?

[@IndianaBows]

A cera que usei é uma cera desmoldante, propria pra ser usada com resina. Em lojas que vende resina se encontra os desmoldantes tbm. A automotiva até da pra usar tbm, mas é meio arriscado. Já perdi chapas de vidro por conta do uso dela. Já o solvente, é só pra tirar o excesso do desmoldante da lâmina e dar um pouco de brilho. Como no final só ia mostrar ela, sem verniz nem nada, quis limpar pra tentar deixar mais brilhante. ( O que funcionou mais ou menos. Rsrs.. )

[@ttwil9810]

5 coats of honey wax would have helped with that release, and I would have added a few 2-3 strands of uni down the center of each strip. Have a few layups to try once I get going, would like to vacuum bag mine eventually

[@adammclachlen213]

Great video. What kind of resin/epoxy do you use on the fiber glass?

[@IndianaBows]

Its a low densit (class A) epoxy resin. I dont know the brand but here in Brazil its sold by E-composites Store.

[@joseniltonconceicaodossant1788]

Excelente trabalho. Parabéns.

[@IndianaBows]

Obrigado! ☺️☺️

Perfeito like no video, qual a marca da resina epoxi que voce usou

Valeu. Usei: RESINA EPOXY AR260 - ENDURECEDOR AH260

[@colinremmer2417]

Just subscribed. Love your work

[@SoulUker]

I'm going to attempt to copy what you did. I hope it goes well. Is it a good rule of thumb to mix glue just slightly more than the weight of the cloths? I've never done this before and was actually going to wet lay the carbon and could just mix more glue just in case I didn't have enough. Thanks for the help in advance. 😀

[@Maggioretom]

Nice one. May I ask some questions? Is that a warm dry chamber? There where you let dry the carbon fiber? And if it is, how many degrees is it set to? What kind of carbon fibers you used? And they were all the same or in different sizes? I'm talking about thickness, ecc. Thank you very much, but please: change music!😂🙏

Hi buddy very interesting I tried once to make carbon sheets I put it on belly side it did not compress very well. Mabe if I put carbon in back side or middle of limb then it will work better and fiberglass for belly. How many sheets you used for this carbon sheet? And how thick did it came out? Great work live you bows. .

[@IndianaBows]

Thanks very much. I have some problems with compression too, but I discovered that was because the resin quality that I was using and the quantity of carbon. I find that 3 or 4 sheets works well, but I believe that if the areal carbon weight is bigger, than can be used less sheets.

[@johanhelberglongbowsknifes1185]

@@IndianaBows Thank you buddy my fiber glass I made was 1 mm thick and still works good like the Bo tuff fiber glass. I used the material cloth fiber glass not unidirectional.

May I ask, what are you applying onto the glass? Is it wax?

[@islandspicehawaii]

Kool video... what type of resin or epoxy did you use for the cloth? And what was that spray and finishing polish? Thanks so much

[@IndianaBows]

Thanks! I used epoxy resin that I found here in Brasil. But it will work with any good epoxy resin that you can find. For polish I used wax spray.

Qual é o valor de um arco seu ?

What is different between high modulus carbon limbs(high end) and unidirectional carbon limbs(wns,samick,kinetic etc) i mean their spec..

[@vasilysh7558]

Напиши пожалуйста, какой ты использовал разделитель? Чем обработал стекло? И чем обработал ламинат в конце ролика. Спасибо!

[@IndianaBows]

I used a 2 face tape as separator. In the glass I used demolding wax to clean and prepare the glass. At the end, I cut, sand and clean with alcohol the carbon lams.

[@tmoanpumba5487]

alot cheaper to buy it made at 25 US a strip.. its also on the bias that makes it alot stronger against twist.

[@IndianaBows]

Maybe you live in a place that you can find it easily. But to import here in Brazil, It Will arrive at almost $100 each because shipping and tax. With the same value that I could bought a couple of a full strips, we can got material to make six or eight Bows. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You're problable too dummy to understand.

[@tinkertom3683]

Who else could see that greasy finger print after he degreased the laminates lol school boy error

[@nealgrieb6660]

I'm sorry, but most everything you did here is just not correct and possibly dangerous. I only hope you were wearing a respirator while dry sanding the carbon fiber 😬. Carbon fiber is a great material, but particulates and splinters can do some serious damage. Be careful.

[@IndianaBows]

🤔🤔🤔 Carbon is like uranium?

[@alfonsoamador958]

It's made just like fiber glass. No biggie.
