Carbon fabric is woven with the threads at 0 and 90 degrees. Turning the entire sheet 90 degrees isn’t making the layers run an opposite direction. The threads are still at 0 and 90 degrees. You need to turn it 45 degrees or buy bi axial fabric woven at +/- 45 degrees to help with warp on large flat panels. Since this is just an overlay bonding to an oem hood frame, you’ll be fine. I just hear people say that all the time.

In my aerospace course they told us everytime to do that even though it’s not obvious but the treatment of the fibers can actually cause some warping. It’s not blatant in a ambiant temperature cure but if cure you can actually have severe warping depending on the manufacturer. So yeah, not necessarily but good practice.

You've given me a lot more inspiration on how to take my hood hand-layup.. I was going to apply some epoxy, let it tack, add the fabric, vacuum bag it, then build layers up. However I think I can probably skip the vacuum bag by using the squeegee, then have the surface prepped ready to throw the fabric on and wet it out immediately rather than adding a base coat of epoxy first. One major question I'm stuck on though.. did you post cure your part? A lot of epoxy systems here in the UK won't achieve the full strength and heat resistance ratings until they have been post cured in an oven. I'm hoping my bodyshop can do that part for me..

Nice.. Bought my CF and stuff.. Waiting for 'winter' to normalize in my shop.. one day it's 38 degree the next it's 59 degrees.. I have heaters.. but still a bit 'gun shy' cause of the cost.. just dont want to screw it up too badly.. I can get the shop to about 67 degrees if I hold the heaters on .. I have the 60 min stuff. Thanks for posting.. DMAX motion sim

The large kit did this hood with 10 extra feet left over?? Dang that's pretty good

kit idea is genius. you'll make a killing.

Thanks a very informative video! Do you think I could use your kit and technique to replicate/replace the steel hood portion of my Bronco, including molding in the drip rails all in one piece? Thank you.

You can spray acetone to get rid of air bubbles too if you don’t want to use heat. Epoxy will still bond if you add it within 3 days , no need to sand if your just trying to build layers up first

weigh the hood before and after

Do you ever use roller cutters? That’s all we would use at work for cutting the plys. It’s way faster when your doing it through out the day and making many cuts.

What is the benefit to putting the resin on with a plastic knife vs sucking it in a vacuum bag? Looking into making some 2g dsm panels

hi do you guys have a video on how to make a front fender? cause on the inside where the hood goes, the fiber does not stick properly and creates air spaces and does not let the hood sit good

So is it important to have a a vacuum or wet style is okay to and do you do the inside or is it just the outside that is being made

This would work fine, but how many folks have a spray booth to get the final finish on. Think it looks soo cool and easy to do with the kit, but my gut says that the first few times you try doing it it is going to be crappy. Air bubbles etc tend to be hard to get rid of. Would be cool if one could use a vacuum bag and let the resin get infused in, but then again all of these techniques work well when you have the right parts, the space and patience cuz it wont get to be right the first time. I would start with a small part to make in carbon fiber before attempting a large one.
