Hi, my name is Dave. Ive been learning how to vacuum infuse carbon fiber for several months now and i really enjoy it. I joined this forum because i need some advice from time to time from people that know what they are doing, rather than from random car forums with people who "think" they know.
The main issue ive been having, is that im not sure how to finish the part once it comes off the mold. It usually has light impressions from the wax or pva that need to be sanded off to remove them. Once i do that im not really sure what it is i need to do to get the glossy result im looking for.
Im looking to find out how to make a glossy finished part, with the least amount of steps and processes to do so. Ive tried coating the part in epoxy resin and i also tried just spraying on some clearcoat, but i am getting mixed results.
So i guess ill start to explore this site and hopefully i will find out a lot of cool stuff here.
