when can u do mine man???plizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
any1 in syd know where to buy this material?
u can get CF clotch from ebay.com. done it many times.
just cbf making a DIY on CF parts.
u should use Epoxy resin.
u can also get all this stuff in a victorian company called "solid solutions" tey hav a website too. google it.
and instead of using a dremmel.
i usually take my time doing things.
sowat i did was, i put a thin layer of resin. wait for it to be touch dry. and then trim it witha sharp blade. then once completely dry. use a nylon scotchbrite pad and degloss the suface and add more resin. and keep repeating untill th amount of layers u need.
then at the end sand down and finish in 800 grit (all this usually takes a week anyways)
then i take it to work and wack some 2K clear on it using 30% thinners so the clear sits flatter.
Tip: over large areas u need to use a vacuum(dont ask i neva done) because bubbles form. happen to me one time wen i was doing a CF insert where the intercooler sits on a S15 vertex front bar...
hmm intresting
i havnt seen mine to bubble yet
I Vacuum bagged a few things at school for a project
we end up vacuum bagging a seat that we hand moulded which was cf, and we vacuum bagged the whole shell for the car but that was epoxy not cf
Vacuum bagging is a bit harder as it needs to have constant suction for a good 4-5 hours off the top of my head... can't say the neighbors would appreciate a compressor going for that long
