The standard of the end result you can expect will vary greatly depending upon your level of practical skill, effort and perseverance but the materials contained within this kit in combination with the practical advice contained within the printed and video guides are quite capable of producing excellent results. Once this has happened you can remove the part from the mould and begin the process of fettling, trimming and polishing the part up to its final finish. Once you have added as many additional layers of carbon fibre your project requires you need to wait for the part to fully cure (another 8 hours). This means that subsequent layers will not disturb the weave pattern of the first layer (which is the one that will be seen once the part is removed from the mould). Normally, you would put down the first layer of carbon fibre and then allow it to cure before adding additional layers for reinforcement. With the fabric roughly in place you mix up your next batch of resin and hardener and start to wet the fabric out using the supplied laminating brush. Bear in mind that once the fabric is 'wetted out' with resin it will be much easier to shape around the contours of your mould. This will allow you to adjust its positioning and alignment and make any cuts necessary. Once the surface coat has cured you lay your carbon fibre fabric in to the mould dry. This forms a thin surface layer that can be polished without breaking through to the carbon fabric and spoiling the surface finish. You will then coat the inside of the mould with epoxy resin (mixed with hardener) onto the inside of the mould and allow it to cure (typically 8 hours at room temperature). Typically you will use a GRP (fibreglass) mould, either polished and waxed or coated with a PVA release agent (included in the kit) to stop the carbon fibre part from sticking to the mould. When unrolled the carbon fibre fabric is 300mm(11.8") wide and 1000mm(39.4") long. Satisfy an urgent or small requirement for some carbon fibre and resin in a professional composites workshop.(this will require some degree of skill and composites knowledge). Repair a carbon fibre product such as a fishing rod, yacht mast/boom, vehicle bonnet etc.Experiment with making carbon fibre products.Because we buy carbon fibre, resin and consumables in large quantities we can provide the handy kit at a very competitive price allowing everyone instant access to the top quality materials we use everyday. The epoxy has been specially formulated for use in carbon fibre lamination having excellent characteristics such as the right viscosity, pot-life, strength and clarity.īecause this kit to make carbon fibre parts uses only top quality materials it is as equally suited for novice experimentation as it is for small scale professional use. This kit includes top quality 2/2 twill 3k carbon fibre fabric, epoxy resin (formulated specifically to our exact requirements) and includes the same high quality laminating brushes and gloves we use daily in our workshop. This kit uses the same carbon fibre fabric, resins and ancillaries that we use every day in the workshop of our sister company, Carbon Mods. Whether you're an experienced composites engineer in need of a small amount of material for an emergency job or a total novice keen to try your hand at making your own carbon fibre products, the Easy Composites Carbon Fibre Starter Kit provides you with all the necessary materials and information you need to start making your own carbon fibre parts.
