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.
