Hello, I found a carbon fibre cloth which already looks like the finished "V" weave on this website.

cannot respond about the material but I have done that formation myself in pre-preg doing it the normal way...


The adhesive is basically a re-branded 3M 77 adhesive.

Looks great! I know this technique but with the carbon fibre cloth from this website, it should be possible to do the same job by resin infusion.

Airtac 2 will not leave a residue, it's made specifically for that. In fact I need some. I have an account with Tygavac. If you want, we can share the cost, as shipping is something crazy like £15.

I've done V weave using pro carbon with resin infusion.... IMO the issue with pre V weave material is getting the V exactly where you want it.

fantastic job !!!

I use infusion with no gel coat on all my items then clear coat them.... My parts are very large and complex so I have the bags occasionally fail slightly which leaves pinholes, these parts would be scrap if they were gel coated but with raw resin I can do a heavy clear coat and recover them.

That bonnet is really impressive!! wonderful!!

I hope I will be able todo something like that one day!

For the adhesive... I use this: adesivo spray Mates I-tak

which I think is the same as airtac, and even if it's not epoxy based, I had no problem of residues... I use it very lightly but in fact you don't need much to make the fabric stick to the mould..

A little Offtopic for moderators... why if I quote a post my reply goes into the quote??? I have to write it before the quote or it doesn't work.. maybe I'm doing something wrong? I've seen it happens also to other users...

ok I guess you mean in some place there is not enough bag pressure, so if you were gel coating the mold before the infusion, you'd have places were the infused resin would not fill properly the voids, between the gel coat layer and the clothe, is that it ?
