Well I have decided to go ahead and take on the project of carbon fiber fabrication.
Today I bought mold making materials, fiberglass fiber (practice before using costly carbon fibers) A vacuum kit, several epoxies, plaster, and small tools.
I still have plenty to add....I will be working with my father who has experience in Aerospace carbon fiber applications to fine tune all the small important details. Heres what I know.
I will be using Epoxy resin, not Ester resin
I will be creating continuous weave tubing (seamless)
I will be attempting intake piping, exterior pieces, interior pieces, and possibly exhaust in the future.
All products will be cured in a vacuum at a minimum of 15 PSI. (based on my kit)
several thicknesses/patterns of fiber will be used
I am open to ideas for pieces, and most likely will make some license plate frames as an introduction (do to ease of fabrication).
I am mainly doing this for fun, and to express my inner creativity. I am also interested in doing enclosures for speakers, subwoofers, and other electronics...
I will update as I move along for those interested in my progress!
