Out of interest, did you form this seat unit using a single piece of carbon cloth as the top (i.e. visible) layer, or was it formed using multiple pieces of cloth? (the photos show a very good finish with no obvious joint lines)
OR
Did you form the seat from multilpe moulds/pieces that were joined after being formed?
Just interested to learn how larger and more complex shapes are best formed.
I’m working on a mould for a carbon air box for my GSXR 1000 at the moment and will post pics once I’ve made reasonable progress. The aesthetics of the air box are not important as its hidden under the tank, but I’m thinking ahead as to how best to ‘lay up’ the carbon fabric when I come to make the parts.
Try a 3" mini buffer. Matco tools, Snap On sell them. No need for someone to help hold the part. But when i need help i just ask someone at the shop to hold onto it real tight.
To op. Would it be possible to post the mold of a front fender. I have just started looking into the composites as I want to make some parts for my Yamaha R6. I just cant grasp the idea of the mold for the front fender. Dont know if its one piece or has a partition. Thanks in advance.
