I've been in Composites since 2008. I was lucky enough to intern at an epoxy manufacturer that gave me some pretty good training on the basics of composites. I've spent the years since that training advancing to vacuum infusion and trying to perfect or improve holes that I had in my skill set. I am still progressing and trying to either gain more knowledge or improve on my molds, plugs, finished parts. I mainly vacuum infuse all of my parts. I have recently made great strides in my moldmaking ability now that I am using strand mat instead of woven fabric--I finally realized that you can just tear the binder apart and use it with epoxy. Since I was trained epoxy that's all that I use. All of my molds and all of my parts are all epoxy. After observing the site the one thing I can say is that you guys make mold that are gorgeous. I hope to progress to that stage. Being that my background is in motorsports and the aftermarket automotive world all of my parts are car related whether body parts, engine parts, or aerodynamic parts. There's a little bit of my composite background, so nice to meet you.

Here's a few... some from awhile/years ago rear diffuser plug carbon diffuser on car front splitter remade in carbon next to its fiberglass counterpart splitter with carbon bumper carbon coil covers carbon fender vents turbo ASME inlet to recent projects custom spoilers for mustangs and a new shorter version of the diffuser. All of the stuff above was made with my old mold making technique that wasn't perfect. My new mold making technique is much better. I first did it on an RC car that I made to design parts for my car off of. Edited 12 Years Ago by wildcard
