Would anyone like to work on a CF vacuum forming project? I have an idea…
I am looking for someone who has a vacumm pump, vacumm bags, and is used to working with epoxy and CF
focusinprogress is who you need to talk to.
Ok, Lets see if he replies. I PM’ed laughingmyassoff, but he doesnt return my pm’s cause too busy making stuff with rocks and sand.
shit, everyone is on to me lol. What are you looking to get into?
the bigger the item, the harder it is to make a bagging rig for, and the more expensive it is to get proper matrials to do so. I abandoned bagging my fiberglass replica sideskirts because I couldn’t get that large of a bag setup to seal 100% and had to re-run the pump every 10mins until full cure (and it was costing almost $50 in matterial PER SET to bag). I’ve had better luck hand-laying with a heavy brush and a “roller” and letting it cure naturally without vacuum…
give me a PM, we can talk there, but I am sure I can make it work. You have funnygas’s old pump?
I sure do. I made some minor mods to the setup running off it, but the hardware is what he used.
