Hey guys. I’vee been practicing my carbon fiber skills in the summer heat.
I pretty much have my infusion process down solid but I am trying to do some little projects here and there and I need some help.
I have already torn down my c pillars, sripped the fabric and sanded them with 80 grit. I wannt “wrap” them in carbon fiber. I have already tried one attempt to do this and was very disappointed in the results.
I put the parts in the sun to help them cure and these air pockets formed underneath the carbon. I tried to save the pillars but it came out looking like crap. So I stripped the bad carbon and wanna try again.
Because I am doing an overlay I was thinking of using NO vacuum pump. is this a bad idea?
Another reason I didn’t want to use the vacuum pump was, the pillar is obviously not a srong material, Its a super thing plastic. I think if i do an “envelope” style wrap on the pillar The pillar will likely collapse and twist.
What do you think? how should i do this? ANy links to DIY? any instructions? help please.
