- How to make a Carbon Fibre cover. OFFSET MOULD
Here i show you how i made carbon fibre fuel flap cover for a MG ZR, that fits perfectly around all edges and corners achieved by using high temperature sheet wax.

Always nice to see a new release from you!
What's thinking about making my own carbon parts and your videos are really helpful!
😍 Perfect fitment! you make it look so easy, damn you 😆
Finally another no non Since carbon channel i like the captions and work being done.
Thank you very much. Ich just want to start now and try to make some parts for my motorcycle.
morning.excelent job. one question. I bought carbon fiber and polyester resin only. Do I need gelcoat to wrap an interior plastic piece of my car or could I use the same resin? thank you in advance
Like a glove!
So clean. What’s your go to epoxy?
what method you do for this video? vacuum infusion method or wetlay method
That sheet Wax is cool. I thought for a minute it was worbla
Cool video. For me, if I am not going to produce several of these and just cap the existing on like you did, I would just make carbon fiber directly on the part. Same difference but cheaper and save time. I'm assuming. I am completely new to this. Thoughts?
How long & temp of the oven process ?
Do you think this pattern coat primer can be used on 3d printed molds as the final surface of the mold? Or is it not durable enough?
Possible! Worth checking out with the supplier
Hi, if you were going to make a one off say car fender, what process would you use to make a mould? Cheers
Probably the same method as this video, you could ditch the aluminium powder and use a normal vinyester gel coat if you planed of making the fedner by resin infusion process as the mould wouldn't need to get so hot.
How many layers of fiber did you use to get about 1mm thickness? I'm looking into making A pillar covers and I'm not sure if I want to use 1mm or 2mm thick sheet wax and how many layers of fiber to use. I'm thinking I will vacuum bag it or possibly just start with hand layup
I used 1 layer 210g and 1 layer of 416g prepreg carbon fibre. You would need to experiment as wet lay will generally be slightly thicker.
By adding this to cover the original panel wouldn’t it stick out ever so slightly from the other car panels?
Yes, but only by the thickness of the carbon fibre which is about 1mm cured so not really noticable.
Where did you get that sheet of wax??? Thanks!!!
Easy composites
I have not seen how comes off the carbon stuff .....???
What release spray wax do you use?
Rw4 from easy composites
Hi, why didn't you make the mold directly on the wax sheet?
Because the finish the wax leaves in the mould requires alot of Sanding to get flat. And it's very awkward and time consuming
@@CarbonWorkshops I with 3 coats of PVA on the wax sheet the mold is pretty good.
Why use a Gel Coat from different company as other material?
Their gel coat isn't very compatible with prepreg carbon fibre
@@CarbonWorkshops thanks for reply. So, for use with regular CF and not Prepreg is ok, theirs Gel coat?
Почему в начале наносшь стекло ткань, а в конце получается карбон?
Предлагаю наклеить сразу карбон.
No carbon has been added. All made from chopstrand matting.
@@CarbonWorkshops как вы объясните по итогу карбоновый рисунок на крышке? И в названии ролика написано (Как сделать Карбоновый Чехол).
The op has made a mould, and then used that mould to make a carbon fibre cover. It's not skinning
@@garyengland5326 понятно.
saddly the cover seem to interfere with the opening of the door 😓
