Wow Dude I just binge all your video on Carbon Fiber for beginners play list… Men you have so many skills a one man production company… builder, CF business, race car driver, race car builder… Well youknow all your trades… I am blown away your videos are awesome… I came across your channel due to the fact that my sone order a hood from Seibon and it came in a crapy car-board box and at the air scoop the top coat came damage.. So my sone enlisted me to fix it… wish me luck first time dealing with CF… Thanks for making your videos 👍

So glad I found this channel I’m rebuilding my 2001 GT that was the only thing that managed to survive the huge fire that hit paradise and burned the whole mountain down and all thanks to the power company. Billions in damage and killed 100+ people. Do you have any custom parts that you offer or anything like that? I need to replace a few things becuase there were some spots that got hot so some shit needs replacing and I’m in love with carbon fiber. I wanna do my fairings for my Honda CBR1000rr too I’m gonna start at your first video and binge my way through you won me over with the New Edge

Maybe I don't understand the measurement segment well enough, but it seems like a problem with a lot of these flares that go straight out from the body: Won't the tire smash into it as the suspension moves through the travel? Or are you planning only 1" of travel? Great video, thanks for sharing!

Hi AJ, I'm starting with carbon fiber, and you do it much faster than the tutorial I've seen so far, they always recommend to: epoxy, wait 1h30/2h until it's tacky, lay cloth... and that between each layer, but you wet it, add layer upon layer in one row ! That clearly works, so why bother with the waiting between layers, are you using a special epoxy or is it something else ? Thanks
@ajhartmanaero2 жыл бұрын
No special epoxy. You can do several layers at once. Just be careful if thermal runaway with to many layers at once.

Around the 25 min mark where you finished sanding and applied the table top epoxy. I thought you can’t sand carbon fiber or it frays. I have a painted carbon fiber part I would love to go back to a bare carbon look. Can I just sand down to the carbon and then re clear it?

Nice video. Thanks!. But i have a few questions Please reply if you can #1. Time 14:00 what epoxy system and hardener (slow, mid, fast) do you use #2. Time 19:30. Same question as above #3. Time 19:32. The process looks like a carbon fiber skinning. My question. why you didn't wait to base coat get sticky to the touch to put a last finish layer of CF? . I noticed you applied a base and put the final layer right over it and wetted out. #4. Time 22:55. Table top epoxy. What hardener you used . Slow, fast mid? Is that coat came out clear ? Thanks

Great stuff, per usual! Question, since you coated these in the epoxy that is more used for table tops would they still have the same release characteristics if you decided to make a mold of them in the future to reproduce them?

templates and measurements mainly. since I used the same thickness and layers of foam on the stock body, coupled with some measurements it was good enough for me. There are tools that can copy and transfer shapes. Its one of those "whatever works" situations.

For lighter fairing you can use WEST 407 low density with epoxy for strong light fairing. Because of the dark color you can't use the 410 it's actually lighter. Here's a link www.westsystem.com/407-low-density/ Much stronger and lighter than bondo.
