Today I am teaching my method of making carbon fiber parts for my car. *****ATTENTION***** We WILL be listing HANDMADE carbon fiber parts on a4trmrkt.com including diffusers and canards

Materials:

Carbon Fiber Weave
Epoxy Resin
Non-stick solution like wax
Mold
Brush

1
Create the mold of whatever you want cast in carbon fiber

2
Coat the inner part of the mold in the non-stick solution so that the carbon fiber won't stick to the mold

3
Mix the epoxy resin depending on the ratio expressed in the directions and lay a coat on the mold

4
Lay the carbon fiber on the mold and adjust so that no air bubbles or folds are present

5
Add more layers of carbon fiber and epoxy depending on your desires

6
Wet sand with various grit until you have a mirror finish
