    Hey Chris, good job on the learning process. I've built a few composited aircraft and understand the nature of creating composite molds for CF panels. At its best, its a black art only to be performed by voodoo which doctors under a blood moon if theres any hope for perfection. But if I might make a couple of suggestions that have proved usefull at least to me. First, lay a few 1 inch foam dowels between a couple of layers of that fiber glass, that greatly improves rigidity of the mold and stops 99 percent of the flexing. Secondly as long a you are using a long work time resin, use a heat gun on medium to high and glance it over the first layer of resin, it does wonders to smooth out the first coat. Lastly use double sided butyl tape to seal vacuum bag edges, not sure what you used here.There's a lot to learn in mold making but your doing great. Thanks for the vid!

    Build larger flanges by taping fluted plastic board on the edges. Because you're doing wet layup, you need to make sure most of the cf fabric is inside the small grooves, the vacuum will help pull the cloth closer against the mould mould but will not ensure the fabric's filling of the voids (especially when you have multiple layers of cf cloth). Use plastic wedges or keycard to press the carbon into the tacky resin

    Also ask about vacuum infusion resin. You can setup all the layers and check that it holds vacuum before you add resin using that method

    Hey, I use to work in layup for an aerospace company. We worked on a lot of carbon parts.
    First. Your mold needs to be close to perfect before you lay anything in it. Sand and bondo the imperfections.
    Second. When you lay the first two layers of material. Vacuum seal it then to compress all the resin through out the first layer. Repeat this for the next two layers.
    Temperature also plays a big roll in a good finish so a temperature controlled environment would be ideal. Around 68-72 degrees.
    For the edges I would recommend getting brand new squeegee tools.
    There is a way to sand and clear coat the visual side if there are small imperfections. Sadly that was a different departments area and I never learned how to do that so I don’t have any advice there.
    Another piece of advice I could give is get different material.
    Some come with resin already applied to the material. There’s less chance of imperfections with this kind of material.

    A question: How will you support the carbon fibre door skin? Will you peel the aluminium skin from a damaged door and lay the inner metal structure into the freshly laid carbon fibre skin and fold over the carbon fibre edge? That way you can create a pretty crisp edge on the carbon fibre skin while retaining all the mounting hardware for the mirrors, handles, hinges, etc.

    • @konradgreen2567
      @konradgreen2567 4 년 전

      I’m pretty sure the idea will be to make a mold of the inner door structure too, and bond that to this outer skin.

    • @nathanvanwyk699
      @nathanvanwyk699 4 년 전

      @@konradgreen2567 That would be amazing to see, except I'm worried that there are too many complicated mounting points inside the door to make it a feasible project, considering the extreme time sensitivity. Also, there are super complicated brackets in the door for the mounting of the unlocking/opening mechanism, power windows and rear view mirror. Also, by using the original aluminium inner skin you can mitigate some of the stresses that may cause the door to crack at the hinges, lock and mirror.

    Chris, you should pre-cut and pre-fit all of the carbon pieces as well as the two vacuum separation layers before you mix any resin. That way you can get the maximum time in the vacuum bag and better resin flow through all of the layers.

I still would not use prepreg unless I used lots of it. The mold would have to be cured at least 50 degree's hotter than the prepreg cure cycle or it would soften too much. Probably would require a new mold depending on the resin he used.

    Your method of layup is good! Your mold is good! I’ve been working with carbon fiber in the aircraft industry for 5 years now and your close. Just really got to tuck that material in the cracks and creases. Also don’t just leave a larger flange for your vacuum bag, but make a tab to put your vacuum port on that’s off the part. It can possibly leave mark off on the part. And make sure your vacuum bag is tucked in those creases as well or it can pull your material off the mold
