From an engineering perspective changing the orientation of the fiber lay up will give you strength in different directions. This is often referred to as the lay up "schedule". Often parts will be made with uni-directional carbon if it needs to be strong in only one direction. It is very common for high strength parts to have 4+ layers where each layer is at 0degrees, 45deg, 90deg, etc. Then you get into all kinds of neat stuff like nomex honeycomb in between layers for very light yet strong parts. I know most of us love how carbon looks, but there are a lot of structural considerations when a part is expected to sustain a load. Love the channel!

I can’t thank you enough for this. It’s like finding out how magic tricks are done.

That's a handy tip and a good example of what the seam looks like if you make one.

Stumbled on your channel and watched the e46 hood being made, as it’s going I find myself asking, “hmmmm two sections for the hood, I wonder how he connects them?🧐” and the next video up is answering just that. And now I am a subscriber, awesome channel, thank you!

That finish off the mirror was amazing straight off the bat

first time seeing the use of a mirror as a backing for vacuum infusion what a good idea.

Thanks for the detailed information. A lot of talent involved in making those hoods. 👍

man this channel is awasome, this guy definately deserves millions of floow in his channel. thanks a lot.

Thanks for making the techniques seem a lot less complicated and easier to accomplish with practice.

Unbelievable work. You have gained a new fan. Your work is inspiring.

that is a real pro tip 👌👀. Thanks men

exactly what i needed

oh yes!!! defo what i wanted to try but didn't know how! thanks

great video, good insight and tips. i like all your videos, not a lot of useless info...much appreciated

Out here with iron sights doing the lords work if you find yourself in alabama I owe ya one godbless

This video just answered alot of questions! Keen to make a bonnet for my racecar. Thing that worries me most is the heat from the motor. Do u use high temp epoxy or is the post cure more important?

Dude, that vest ❣

Have you ever considered building an experimental aircraft like a Rutan Long-EZ, or a Cozy MKIV? They are usually built with wet layup, but I think it would be super cool to try and infuse one.

Your vest is awesome 😍

Great tip, thanks for sharing!

Dude that magnetic vest is badass

You are very ingenius AJ. 👍👍

Muchas gracias. Muchos éxitos. Abrazos desde Argentina

I am considering overlaying my 57 corvette with carbon fiber.The area around the single headlight and grill oval is concerning. Youre work is amazing, any suggestions?

greetings friend and excellent explanation I ask you how you calculate the drying time of the resin so that it does not dry when you make the transfer, greetings from Venezuela

Can you feel the overlap line with your finger? How big is the difference in millimeters pls? And in the end product will be it be a fine transition if you sand it and coat it? Thanks.

When you say 'several hours in the oven'. Is it just a cupboard with a fan heater? And what temperature does it get up to roughly and how long. I've seen that in a few if hour videos. I LOVE your content by the way

Hey Man, nice videos, very informative. How did you learn all these skills? Did you go to some tech college for this?

Excellent tutorial. No tell us what clear gel you're using. Lol Duratech, Lilly-ram???

cool trick

I was wondering if the 3M spay adhesive were spayed on the mold, does it show up in finish of the final part?

Hi, What is the best adhesive to use to bond carbon fiber to leather? I have a carbon fiber interior car pars that I want to install. Double sided 3M tape does not stick at all. I was thinking I need to "glue" them on. Not sure what the best method is to use.

Спасибо Мастер!

To questions . 1. What is the name of the cutting tools you use. 2. What is the material on top of your bench and under the carbon you are cutting. Thanks

Awesome!

Hello, thank you for the videos. I am trying to skin a steering wheel with carbon and I am really struggling with connecting the fabric at the back. Could you please show a way to do it. Thank you again.

I like this look Iv a Mazda rx8 bonnet which has a indent shape in the middle so want to do it like this just as skinning Can I do base coat then one side lay down from the middle to the edge then butt up the other side so it looks flat

Never knew this was how it was done and had been bugging me for a while . Having worked with plenty of dry carbon and infusions I would definitely not bother trying to do any fancy seam down the centre of a bonnet , definitely not worth the time , effort and scrap ratio . Well done for your efforts, I’ll just stick to race car stuff that’s painted .

Super video i was trh same thing but i had problém with fabric, Can i ask about shop where order or what typ did you use there ?

Won’t you see/feel the overlap from the other side?

For someone new to building carbon parts, who is a good supplier to buy supplies through? I recently damaged my hood on my off road race samurai and I want to get into making carbon parts. Great videos!

Super ton idée....résultat extraordinaire. 😃

Very interesting. I never knew that stuff existed. My first theory on how to do it would have just involve packaging tape the same way youve used that stuff. Reckon it may work in a similar way?

hi sir, what do you call the spray can you for the cf to stick? 3:32. i hear spraytech but i dont know if its the right spelling, do you have link on where i can buy that? thank you so much.

I really like what You do, but I must ask You about the used fibreglass veil - where You got this or at least what is the grammage of it - I found only 15g/m2 but I think it's too thick for my application. Yours looks a lot thinner

Hi,what material would you recommend for making a cheap splitter between plywood and pvc,which is better? Thanks!

Is spiral wrap not needed on such a small infusion? Just the flow mesh and peel ply?

Thank you for the information. I'm going to sleep my shelby gt350r market just to hot and I would like th o buy a house with 10 acre a shop and pond

Very informative video! Where can I buy fiberglass veil? I’ve looked all over and can’t seem to find it, thanks.

Sup man! Hey can you send us link where we can find veil roll? I search like every web corder and i dont fond any roll. Thx in avance ✌️👍

Is there any way I can buy a 2’x3’ sheet of carbon fiber with the v weave in the center from you? Thx

would you know if you can join a \\\\ pattern to a === pattern, where one is turned 45 degrees? getting me thinking of a ghosting image of carbon fiber.

Can you joining two peace’s of carbon fiber with out having a seam line show visible?

why not sprayglue on the weave only and then cut?

Where do you source the veil from? Google is bringing back large sheets only :/

Great work!!😃 Where did you get the thin fiberglass?

Can you make a video about comparing polyester infusion resin to epoxy infusion resin ? I’m new to composite and wonder if epoxy is worth it. Great video btw, enjoyed it.

Can you feel a ridge where the matt overlaps

its called fiber glass belt or bell?

Where do you get your sheets of CF from?

Hello. should the mirror be waxed?

Can anyone tell me what the metal stand is called that’s used to rest the mirror on, looking to buy one but no idea where to look?

Do you buy your carbon from composite envisions?

how did you release the surface?

Have you seen the "it costs that much" tiktok?
