Have got about 70 tabs open on my screen at the moment Just thought I would introduce myself here; I've been playing around with carbon fibre and fibreglass for a few years but just recently got myself a resin infusion setup so I am quite heavily into it at the moment. I currently produce custom parts for my R34 Skyline, and would like to get to a level where I can supply with others with top quality parts. I'm sure I'll find the help I need on these forums! Cheers, Martin.

It's nice to see you also share your mistakes and I guess a lot of us went/still goes trough that trial and error to get perfect finished parts.Don't give up and keep trying, maybe on some smaller parts so if it goes wrong you dont waste to much material or try with fiberglass first Yeh, I've definitely learnt to do a small trial first, I've wasted a good meter and a bit of nice carbon cloth which is always a shame. These days I've got some 6 ounce fibreglass cloth that I use to make a trial part the first time I use a mold. Unfortunately this gives me mixed feelings haha, when it doesn't work then I'm glad I used the fibreglass but when it works first time I feel like I've wasted the resin and bagging stack materials haha. wojtepanik (15/01/2014) Hi Really nice elements you have here I was laughing when I saw the ethanol percentage gauge because here in Poland the government wants to force all drivers to have a breathalyser in their cars as we had couple bad accidents caused by drunk drivers, so before every trip you blow at your gauge and it shows yours ethanol content in your body Bye Wojtek from Poland Haha Yeh they want to introduce that here too! I'm not too worried though, my car drinks far more alcohol than I do! Haha.
