It's great to see someone documenting the full process. What you don't see is the pain, frustration, and learning curve to be able to get vacuum infusion to work the first try. Kudos man, great work!
Hi, thanks! I have learned that hard way and didn’t want to demotivate people showing it lol
@rezzynumber1 it is expensive. I failed several times and went back to the reliable wet layup method...
I failed too, but I was practicing on fiberglass with polyester resin, much cheaper for experiments. I wanted to make parts with infusion.
I don’t think a single person can get it right the first time. You will have defects. Also this shouldn’t be shown to people as a “hobby” thing this is a professional field and should only be attempted if you intent on entering the composite industry it is not for everyone with a garage and some tools.
@ Very true!
Was worried the weave wasn't going to match with all the cutting he did but its hardly noticeable when its completed.
Good point!
That is a lot of work!
Now I know why they cost so much...Thanks!
You are welcome!
Круто!!! Молодец, огромный привет из Москвы ❤
Spasibo 🙏
While it's not a tutorial, I like how it's straight to the point. Now I just need to practice and start making stuff for my car
Thank you! Good luck!
great job! :)
make a video of what chemicals you use and what to look out for during the whole process
Thanks. I have listed all the materials and the tools in a video description, if you don't find anything feel free to ask me.
Sempre tive curiosidade como era o processo para produzir uma peça em carbono, seu vídeo acabou com essa curiosidade, parabéns ficou muito legal 👍
Thank! Good luck!
Great video dude. I've watched quite a few carbon fibre tutorials over on the EasyComposites UA-cam channel. Really temping to give this sort of thing a go. I'll probably start out with something smaller though. Your video is a really great start to finish video. Now I have to try.
Hi, Thanks! Good luck!
Damn that mold was clean!!!
Thanks!
Great job again! Now I just wish you would also do that for the post-face lift first gen impreza :D
Thanks! Now you just have to find me a costumer with that car who wants carbon fiber boot for his car and consider it done lol 😆
You got Gold hands bro
Thanks
A small roller is what i have been using. With a brush you can hardly make i before it start to gel.
Hi, which process do you mean?
Amazing job man🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻Thanks so much for sharing this. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks 🙏 You are welcome!
How nuch weight was saved?
Hi, carbon boot final weight was 3,9kg, factory boot is about 12-15kg.
@rezzynumber1 Thank you. Great work
@@lavrentievv You are welcome!
Very very good work.I like how you make very gloss mould
Thank you! Cheers!
This give me a bit of a raise if im honest
What you mean?
@rezzynumber1 it's awesome!
@@NoahZohs-ei3up Thanks!
Is the 2part gule specail for carbon and is is iy hard to get hold of ?
Hi. Yes it is, to glue carbon to carbon, you should use polyurethane adhesive. Here you go amzn.to/3PULFo0
Very cool! 🎉
Thanks! 🙏
How do you finish the edges?
Hi, after final trimming, just sand it with 120, 220 and then 320 grit sandpaper
Man........!! Like always, it's such a wonderful, amazing, and beautiful work. I wish you could be my mentor in carbon fiber composites. You're really good doing it
BTW. I have another question
What is the brown like color thing that you put on your pactual part before you glued your flanges? Could you tell me please so I can buy it too
Thanks, great job once again
Thanks! 🙏 I guess you mean adhesive to glue two carbon parts together? It’s a polyurethane adhesive to bond carbon to carbon. You can find it in my description “Carbon To Carbon Adhesive” with a link you can purchase it. You are welcome!
Or do you mean Vacuum Pump? you can find it in the video description as well as: "Vacuum Pump" with a link to purchase it!
I mean the brown thing where you glue the pvc flanges to make your mould out of the OEM part
Oh, it's a painters paper tape, you can find it in my video description with a link. I use tape to protect parts surface from hot glue.
I can't send you a picture of it, but it is the thing that you put all around your OEM piece you can take and look from the sec 0:48 to the minute 1:06

Thanks!
What in-mould clear coat are you using? Must be epoxy compatible. Nice job!
Thanks! Yes it is epoxy compatible gelcoat. I have listed it in my description with link.
@@rezzynumber1 Ahh ok, thanks for answer. I am not able to find clear coat that's not polyester based as i have no rooms suitable for such smell.
Another question, what do you think about 3d core PET infusion foam compared to Lantor Soric if weight is important (infusion technique). Or there are any other options for making lighter sandwiches?
You are welcome! GC50 is epoxy compatible polyester gelcoat, so it has strong smell. I don't use 3d core pet foam, I have never used it so I can't give advice about that, but I'm planning to replace lantor soric with thicker carbon fiber cloth, for example 600gsm or 800gsm in the future. Lantor soric is not very flexible fabric especially when you have to lay down into complex shaped mould, it takes lot of time and lantor soric overlapping makes part also thicker which I don't like.
@@rezzynumber1 Yeah, that's the problem. It's an option to let spray clear top coat after part is de-moulded in some paintshop. Have to test which core makes lighter panel. Thanks for sharing experience.
No problem! good luck!
Brooo man I got carbon fiber hood that faded pretty bad. How do I go about bringing it back to life?
Hi, you can sand it down with 400 grit and spray clear coat and when its completely dry then polish it.
Awesome man, really appreciate the response 💯
Keep up the good vids🫡
Thanks, you are welcome!
Looks really good! What brand spray gun is that?
I'm not sure, It doesn't even have brand name on it lol. It has 4mm nozzle. I have link in the description of the Gelcoat Spray Gun if you would like to get one.
I use a 2.5mm tip gun but always looking for new improved ones. What tip size is that spray gun?
I am spraying with 4mm nozzle, I have tried 2mm and 3mm but was too small for my liking, maybe because my air compressor has 3hp and it is not enough to spray gelcoat with smaller size nozzles.
here you go amzn.to/4jJqSBn
Thanks for the link!
that glass finish off the peel is so saatifying
Thanks!
What is this red liquid?
Tooling gelcoat, to copy shape of the original part
*dayummmmm nice!*
Thanks!
Super
Thanks!
What brand of gloves do you use
They are nitrile gloves
Whats the clear gelcoat for??
clear gelcoat acts as clear coat for carbon fiber part, it protects the carbon from UV lights, sunlight, dirt.
Is the clear gelcoat polyester or epoxy?
@@andreasyo3050 Hi. It’s epoxy compatible polyester gelcoat
That was really helpfull! Thank you!
What gel coat is this?
you mean tooling gelcoat or clear gelcoat?
@ tooling 🤣
It is a spray type clear gelcoat and you can mix it with any color pigment, I chose red pigment.
What was the cost to make it?
Hi. About 500$
@@rezzynumber1 that includes the price of making the mold?
Yes
👏👏👏👏
How much cost make this think
Around 500$
Кто бы мне сделал на лифтбек такую 😊
1/8 more hp

How much would you sell this for??
Hi. Around 1000$
