Tips and Tricks
about using Carbon and other fibers.
3K Plain weave is a standard look carbon. A twill weave is the
traditional carbon look. I don't have that style. Most people that see carbon
don't remember; this is Twill this is plain weave and this is 4 or 5 harness.
Carbon, done well, has the right look and feel. I like to use Plain weave in
complex and smaller shapes where there is really no direction intended. Inside
of car parts where panels are everywhere. Twill is best done in round or flat
panels like a large dash boards on a boat or the round motorcycle exhaust pipe
found on Rice Rocket bikes. 4 or 5 harness is when there is a direction
involved--you align the carbon in that direction and it looks like its natural. Stream lined motorcycle or the deck of a car
hood or just insets of a carbon on a boat facing forward. All carbon fiber that is showing on the
surface needs to be placed and orientated very precisely, evenly and straight
to really look well. All the air bubbles in the fiber must be removed very
carefully to see the carbon rather than unsightly bubbles.
Tracers are used to help orientate and cut the carbon cloth and are
normally spaced out every 12" throughout the cloth. Some tracers are made
of fiberglass that disappears once the resin is introduced and others are
Kevlar that show up better. Kevlar still is visible after the lay-up is wetted
out. For a carbon look you don't want the Kevlar showing. People who use carbon
for reinforcing boats or under paint don't mind the Kevlar--is actually a nice
benefit for cutting and placing the fiber.
For Carbon that is showing in your finished work: Make sure your
mold is as smooth and shinny as possible.
Use only one light layer of glass first before you lay in the carbon.
The 3/4oz I have listed here or a 1.2oz glass cloth. This will help hold some
resin on the surface to help get a pinhole free surface. The carbon goes in
next. Watch your orientation and on the 4 or 5 harness cloth. One side has a
different orientation than the other. Apply the resin to the mold first (I am
guessing your mold is prepped correctly) then lay in the light glass--remove
all the air bubbles. Lay in your carbon--add more resin. The carbon should be
able to slide around a bit after it is complete wet out. Line up the carbon so
the weave is straight and trim off any carbon that is hanging over the mold.
You only want about 1/4" of fiber hanging unsupported by the mold. Now
take your fingers (you do have gloves on right?) and rub every square inch of
the fiber. Each time you here a crackle or a pop that's a little air bubble.
Once your happy that all the air bubbles are gone let it dry. If you want to
add reinforcements or make the lay-up thicker you can do it after the resin has
gelled or cured. Depending on you choice of resins and when to recoat will
depend on each Resin manufacture. Read the label and adjust the recoating
accordingly. The idea is to keep the fiber still and not introduce any more
bubbles until the carbon has gelled, set up or cured before introducing more
material to the original lay-up.
