F Group: Awaiting Activation Posts: 63, Visits: 99	Executive decision taken. One of the badges is going but I hope to recycle the other. Going for the hole with backing method. All the stuff for vacuum bagging ordered apart from the CF and the pump. ( just waiting to establish the threads on the pump). I have ordered 8 different samples of CF to see what I like. Also got to order the Ferrari stickers ( big yellow ones to match the car). I’ll post pictures before I start work. M

Has. Hi. I’ve just joined and you thread looks interesting.My project is to improve the look of a sliding load cover in the boot of my kit car. This is the largest job by size that I will have...

Hi furarri, wellcome and thanx for the feedback and the support. Back to your project, I'm not sure if I got it right but I think that it will be easier if you can get 2 set of stickers and use one t...

No action yet. Pump is ordered. Samples of CF have arrived along with all the consumables, so just waiting on the pump delivery to make up a board of samples to see which I like best, each piece...

Hello Mick. I think that you may need the pre- preg onr, thisCF is best for details and overlap method, this is extremely accurate to cut and work with, you may need a fusion fix to fixed properly......

Jas. I appreciate that pre-preg is the best way to go but I don’t have the facilities to use the stuff so I’m limited to working with infusion or vacuum bagging a wet layup. I think infusion is...

I think Jas may have actually meant the ProFinish carbon rather than pre-preg as he mentions using spray adhesive with it which would be totally unnecessary and even detrimental with pre-preg. The.....

Hanaldo.Hi. Yes that be an idea but the carbon/twaron is already on order. I’ve also seen some carbon finish stitched together to form a V. Anyway as I say, I’m a total novice on this subject and ...

I bought a set of sample weaves (7 of them) of CF. I used fusion fix to stick them to a piece of ABS andlayered them up with XCR resin mixed 3:1 by weight. Over this I layed peel ply ( white with.....

We're on our way. Layer of black base coat. Allowed to cure to a tacky finish. Pro-finish applied in a V patern. Resin coat applied over the top. Vacuum bagged and allowed to cure overnight......

I joined this thread as the letters on the Ducati fuel tank so closely matched what I wanted to do.As it was the first time I’d used CF I wanted to do a part that didn’t mater if it went wrong, so I....

I stalled out on this, and all the other jobs after injuring my back putting up some more lighting in the composite shop ( the back of the garage).Back to the load floor slider. All the fabric/flock...

Yes you're right I meant the pro finish oneI will get it the next week, thanks for get it clear. Cheers and good luck with your project.

Jas1712 - 7 Years Ago

I knew aboya the profinish one when it was to late, i ordered the started kit and the tank required the pro finish one afortunately could save my project but definitely I will try it in my next...

Jas1712 - 7 Years Ago

Yeh don't get me wrong, I wasnt necessarily recommending the ProFinish! I was just pointing out it was more likely that Jas meant that than pre-preg. Personally, I don't actually like set-weave...

Hanaldo.No problems. Thanks for the info, I welcome any input. I hadn’t realised that the pro-finish had the antifray finish. As I write the printer is making some brackets for storing roles of.....

Furrari - 7 Years Ago

Were you trying to bond them to the ABS? ABS isn't an easy plastic to bond to, you would need to aggressively stand it with 60 or 80 grit to get any sort of bond. Even then, you would likely find you...

Hanaldo. Thanks for that info. I was coming to these conclusions myself but it’s good to have some input from those more experienced than me (and that’s just about everybody).Mick

You will not have a good time trying to get the profinish into this contours. The backcoating reduces fraying, and eliminates unwanted fibre movement, but at the same time almost fully blocks the...

Thanx a lot for that advice, I really appreciate it, I got this results with the normal one, so I'm glad that did the right choice, I was about to order the profinish for this part, you saved my life...

Jas1712 - 7 Years Ago

Can you post a photo? My only thought is that you placed the tow down with the spray adhesive face up, but this is just a guess without seeing it.

Hanaldo - 7 Years Ago

And take pictures :-)
