September in Canada. Raised in South Florida, Fort Lauderdale, and 60 years later living in Tallahassee with its rather mild winter. 70F inside in the winter is NOT the same as 70F outside in the summer. "Jack, why is it 78F inside your house?" The mold making was fascinating and answered a lot of questions I have BEFORE trying it myself. Great videos. Look forward to watching more.

Excellent video, I was a fibreglasser in the 90s where I got my trade we made race/rallycar seats , which were and still are the best made in Australia.. the only comment is when pulling the part out is to stand it upright and twist left to right a few times to crack the part free, but hey, the end product does satisfy after all the hard work.. Seeing a non bubbled carbon fender, bonnet, race seat is what it's all about 👍👍

I can't believe that I had to wait for a Canadian to show me this, but whatevs. Right? Man! Those fenders turned-out perfect, from what I could tell. 5 pounds?! What a savings in weight! This is unbelievable! That laughter that you let out, when you released that first fender from the mold... I totally get that. You had so much riding on that, and it came out so perfectly, that you probably couldn't believe it! That's what that laugh was about... A good news surprised feeling, knowing that all is well, and that it was YOU that did it. I did the same thing after I programmed my first part on a CNC machine, and held the final product. I was like "Damn, all of that worry, and it was this easy". Anyway, thank you so much, Sir! I will keep this as my reference video.

Honestly - I had no clue. Now that I'm starting to learn more, I'm equally shocked any of this worked.

In the event you ever go with another huge part and aren't quite first time lucky, experimenting with fiberglass is far cheaper before you step into CF. Despite most people's understanding of CF, the upper tier of woven fiberglass is actually stronger than the equivalent CF, just not as stiff. That's really where CF shines is stiffness. One can also use alternating layers of FG and CF so long as both fabrics use the same epoxy variants. Just remember that these things aren't getting their strength from too much epoxy. It's definitely a fine art of applying just enough for strength vs weight, and CF definitely prefers precise ratios for a given fabric weight.

Great job. Good video. One thing I started doing is an envelope bag. Composite envisions has a bag that is basically a tube and you just slide your whole mold in the bag and seal up the ends. Way less chance for leaks and frustration dealing with all the ears you have to use. Just make sure the back side of the mold is smooth or padded. Been wanting to do some parts for my 67 GMC and watching your videos made me more excited about it.
