This is great. You should consider putting a linear way guide on both sides of your table. You might even be able to get away with angle iron or a box tube. It will be faster and give you a nice straight edge without thinking. If you want you can even set it up with a CNC length input.

Very nice video very helpfull tks for posting it. You mentionned most of the time 3k is being used. If I want to cover an interior part of my car how many layer of 3k I should do? Tks

Looks to me like a kitchen roller, like you use for flattening dough would work well for this.

I'm loving this channel and hatching a plan to start doing my own interior panels for my car's interior. I really think a matte finish would look even better however. I've just done some reading and seen people suggest either sanding the gloss finish back or applying a matte clear coat. Do you have any go to methods for a matte or satin finish?

Can you do a skinning demo, small parts and trimming would be awesome

Very good vidéo Thank you ! How is joint between the layers ,strong or so so ? Can It be better by adding pressure instead of vacuum ? Thank s

Great primer AJ. I would love to see you expand on this, maybe a wet layup with foam core to add rigidity. Cheers mate

It's fantastic! At the last step, you used a small roller to work out the air bubbles. Would you kindly tell me what kind roller it is? Does that roller have needles to pierce air bubbles? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Great video. However, I have a question, can you set screws into the epoxy/fiber to install onto aluminum parts? Or will the epoxy adhere to aluminum? I'm making a box for my H-D trike that looks like a 32 Ford coupe, but instead of a trunk or rumble seat, I'm doing an aluminum roll up door, like a roll top desk, and need a way to attach the frame without seeing the fasters.

Wow way over a welders pay grade, I'll just buy parts of the internet... Good video.

If you want to prevent the pin holes on the surface you can pre-wet the fabric before putting it on the surface.

Cool

Did the oven get out air bubbles? Ive heard of people using a heat gun or torch to get out bubbles. A close up of the finished product would have been cool. Fantastic video!

so amazing the video is, can you do one for us?

If you wanted the top side to have a glossy finish as well. Would you just use a non porous teflon coated peel ply on top?

Bro, you make this look so damn simple but I've had issues in the past. Granted my first attempt had crevices and bends but I was attempting to lay CF over a dash bezel. I failed lol

Was curious. Are you using carbon that has a veil on the back of the carbon? It doesn’t look like it fray when you cut it. Great videos.

good afternoon where do you purchase your carbon materials and I like the information abut the different grades of CARBON! I AM NEW TO THIS SO I AM LEARNING WOULD like to try this method to do a sheet of carbon to make a front spliter for my car!

i build a lot of carbon wings for drag car always wet lay never vacuum bag. i clear gel first . everyone say we build the best carbon wing. do you ever use carbon with weave stabilization ? i like it for the first layer

Hey AJ, love your videos! For a DIY guy like myself, would you recommend doing wet lay with curved and more complex molds? Or at that point would pooling of the resin be too much of an issue affecting strength and weight.

@RodrigoNascimentoMattos

its kinda hard to achieve perfect part without vacuum if the mold is too complex.

@ajhartmanaero

3 жыл бұрын

Wet lay on curved stuff, or anything with tight corners is a pain. I’d only try it if it was your only option.

If you arent getting a good carbon-to-epoxy ratio doing wet layup then you simply need practice. Too many people use vacuum bagging as a crutch to being crappy at laminating. A good way to practice is laminate with fiberglass cloth. You will be better able to see sections that are too heavy or too light and with time develop a feel for it. When done right it should have a very consistent canvas like look.

What would you recommend for an outer shell (canopy) for an electric camper)?

So do you ever use prepreg material? I find it much easier to work with but it does have a short shelf life if you dont have a proper storage freezer
