DIY Composites Carbon Fibre Skinning - How to tutorial
Переглядів 199 тис.4 роки тому
DIYCOMPOSITES.CO.UK DIY Composites tutorial on completing the carbon fibre skinning / wrapping process to give non carbon fibre parts a genuine carbon fibre gloss finish that can be completed in a home workshop or business premises using our range of carbon fibre skinning materials.
What if you want to be able to remove the original piece after doing several layers for the purpose of actually saving weight
great video !! I'm doing a carbon fiber skinning progect right now and need some advise the car trim I have brought has a factory aluminium skin over it should I skin over it or strip it off before skinning . TIA
What extra steps are required to use a matte clear coat?
This (with maybe more then one layer) can also be used to repair cracks in most materials, right? I'm asking because I got a Canadian canoe which is made from plywood and my idea is to repair it with carbon fiber.
Usually when repairing carbon parts you need a few extra layers like you suggest. But the extra epoxy needs to be vacuumed out. Otherwise you do not have that 60:40 carbon to epoxy ratio which is ideal
So you left the part taped under ? Lol
Wish yhey made more videos.
Just dont do this
Why ?
What would be the added thickness to a skinned part using this process?
Why your just adding weight
For the first time, I bought carbon fiber fabric and epoxy resin. Can I make the spoiler of my car carbon fiber? Please, someone who knows, tell me the simple steps of the work. I have seen a video on UA-cam. Where should I do it? How many times and how many layers should I apply epoxy after gluing the carbon fiber? And my spoiler has color, do I have to remove the color completely or is it enough to sand it so that scratches are created? Thank you for your help
You guys didn’t even show the final product up close
what do you do when thr item is bigger then the roll? overlay it ?
Stop saying that 200 g is extremely light. It is standard weight. Not even 80 g is extremely light.
Would you need to remove the fake leather and foam on a center console arm rest to wrap that? Or do you wrap over it?
Remove everything to skin it. Leave it there if making a mold.
how is the base coat resin different to the later applied resin? (except colour ofc), I have bought a supposedly full set for skinning but there is only one type of resin and hardener
Did you find an answer I have the same question
Laminating resin, sanding resin, and gloss resin can be made from the same thing. The brand I use: mix hardner catalyst to laminate, add wax chemical to make it sanding resin, and I add a lot of catalyst and pour the resin hot when it's super thin for gloss coat. Every resin system has their own additives or products. I mix resin by weight with a little cheapy digital scale.
Bit confued with what resins etc. i have GRP base to skin with CarbonFibre. do I use epoxy / VE RESIN or both?
Epoxy bro.....
A week to cover a part is ridiculous
Where can I buy the material?
Did you use clear coat at the end of the process? Isn’t 120 grit sand paper rough for this process??
If youre laying carbon just for appeal then you want a mechanical bond with the part to the resin. My understanding of skinning is using one layer to mold the carbon and then prying it off and enforcing the back for a 100% carbon piece. This process defeats the purpose of using carbon... if you are trying to make a full carbon piece either you want to create a mold OR polish the piece you want to make carbon from 800 grit to say 3000grit to polishing. Add release agents, lay down 1 or 2 layers then pry it off the part and enforce on the inside or back of the part.
Perfect for my classic🔥
Very well explained 👏
Where do you get the kit
ebay sells different varieties
Fantastic presentation
What did you do with the taped back edges?
Cut them like it says in the video
Can I carbon skin over faux leather? The part I’m gonna do it’s not spongy at all. Might be able to rip the leather off
sounds fine. how'd it go?
🤗🤗
i personally think its way too much resin. from afar its too dark to even see the weave and up close its sooo shiny.
What did you use for the brush to not getting hard after ung coat..?i hope u can help me..thank you
How does none handle parts that have countersunk recess for screws when skinning?
I have yet to try this but I would think you would account for that when cutting your CF, press it down into those spots at the drill out the screw holes once it’s dried.
could you use a spray on glue instead of that black stuff please
The epoxy desolves spray glue. The moment you wet the carbon it will come loose and create bubbles where you have tight corners or sharp edges on the part you want to wrap
I saw some small little pockets on the finish.
could you use this for foam wings
nice and clear.. 🔥🔥
great guide. spot on
Thanks for posting this! Well done!
disable tools plaese
Ware can I buy this kit
is this an easycomposties rebrand or something?
isn't it applicable to use avacuume bag on that work material?
That's have different process... This is skinning...
THE FAST&FAKE WAY OF DOING CARBON FIBER
Agree but i also will argue i have a 370z, i spent 1300usd for a carbon hood with poor fitment but a reputable company.... and it was heavier then my OEM hood LOL so the fact that someone could skin there OEM hood and have OEM fitment is a +1 plus people would never know because it's not a wrap :P so i sold the hood and i'm going to skin my OEM :)
@@andrewparsons2178 Good point!
Make a tutorial how to cut the edges to nicely wrap around corners
You forget the please....
Scissors and sand paper once cured
This is a great demo! I like your use of the semi-permeable membrane for a resin break. The whole idea of turning the vacuum off before the part is gelled makes me crazy - even if it sometimes works!

well presented Alex! you're a Pro! liked commented and subscribed 👍
Nice video and nice job!)
No clear coat ?
weirdly mesmerised by watching that thanks :)
How BMW skin parts in what the call open pore carbon fiber? Is it possible to DIY?
If only it was as easy as the video What they dont tell you is That you will mess it up more times then not
skill issue. the video states to be meticulous.... not that hard.
