I've only ever laminated carbon over existing parts But that has its drawbacks So been attempting to make moulds and wet lay the carbon in there I'm getting the odd small air pockets But getting closer! Need to the learn infusion process!  I've made some gear knob insearts but have Various imperfections And petrol disc trims again odd imperfections and some trapped air pockets ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Very nice!I've dabbled in this and it's pretty tricky! Materials are expensive as well so repeated mistakes while experimenting and getting it right does actually cost a fair bit unlike working with some other materials. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Spooks have a ph1 a ph2/3 bonnet (I've asked which one) and a boot lid!I'm having problems getting the carbon into tight corners without air pockets that maybe one for an infusion mould Which isn't a cheap process to learn!  ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Yeah they want £285 per mould they do have make an offer so reckon they'd take £250Which to be honest I'd pay if it's a good mould ph3 and de-badged which it could well be! Yeah I do have one of those paddle bubble poppers but it only works over large flat surface and not so good In tight corners I'm having problems with the fuel cap trims picking up air pockets at the edges so just using a sticking technique Which gets most of them but always the odd few get through and a heat gun or hair dryer dont do anything either Maybe a different type of resin is needed to work better But like said before this is an expencive learning curve! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

no good using heat will create bubbles , you need the single blade roller for tight bits , will try and add photo off it , when doing large panels you need them to go off as slow as possible or they will distort , have phase 1 and phase 2/3 bonnet moulds here that might become available ________________________________________ wayne mcardle |

Before you make the ph.1 mold available you'll have to check it works by making a ph.1 bonnet for me.  ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

I do a bit of fibreglassing/carbon for the Skyline. I get bubbles in the resin to from time to time..... really random. Can't figure out why.Still, parts come out fine. Might get a vacuum pump and go vacuum-bagging!!!! (sounds wrong )TT |
