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

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…

I sure do. I made some minor mods to the setup running off it, but the hardware is what he used.
