Wild card week

For the wildcard, i had to try carbon fibre composites!!!

Designing The mold

Prepping the mold

This is everything you will need for this process

Nylon peel ply

EL2 resin

PVA release agent

2 cups

Your mold

carbon fibre

Paint brush

Previously I explained why the mold is in two parts

Petg is great at bonding to itself but once cooled down it does not bond very well

Thus slightly abraising the surface with 120 grit sand paper and then sticking with super glue works great, creating a mechanical lock

Safety is number one with carbon fibre, even lain cutting produces micron level frays and fabrics. respirators and gloves

I used a carnauba wax as a release agent

This was a horrible horrible idea, it didnt not work at all. Use a pva based release agent !
