Carbon Fiber Iron Man Mask (How it's made)

- I made a mask for Tony Stark and Pepper Potts out of Carbon fiber with a red and blue tint, These are props I've made to celebrate the love 'I love you 3000' between Tony and Pepper, after seeing the latest marvel movie called Avengers Endgame.
How it's made:
The mothermould was covered with the Easy Lease, chemical release agent from Easy Composites to be sure to have a good release of the mould.
The mould is made with the uni-mould tooling system. First the gelcoat is applied after mixing it with MEKP catalyst. Once the gelcoat is tacky I proceed with the coupling coat that will create a good bond between the gelcoat and tooling resin coming on later. Once the coupling coat is in a tacky state 4 layers of fiberglass are applied with the tooling resin. Around 2,5 kg was used for this mould. The good thing about the uni-mould tooling system is that it will create strong moulds that are resistent till high temperatures and low on shrinkage as well. These moulds are ideal for resin infusion or any work with epoxy resins.
The part itself is made out of a 650g/m² twill weave carbonfiber. around 2 layers were used followed by some peelply for an easy removal followed by an infusionmesh for a good flow of resin. Once everything is done everything goes under vacuum with a vacuumbag with a resin in and vacuum side. For the epoxy resin I went for the IN2 infusion resin from Easy Composites. I've mixed it with the fast and slow hardener combined. That way I have a potlife of around 45 min which should be enough for this small infusion. To give you an idea, 200 grams total was used here per mask. The technique used is called resin infusion, also called VARTM. You could also make a part like this using the wet lay up technique or vacuumbagging technique. The advantage of resin infusion is that you'll get a way better surface finish without any pinholes or air trapped if properly done. After curing for a minimum of 24 hours at 25°C ambient temperature you can start to demould the part. First the bag is removed, then the peelply with the infusionmesh. Now you are left with only the carbonfiber and epoxy resin. Only thing left to do is use wedges to demould the part and trim.
Before applying the clearcoat the part is sanded with a 300 grid sandpaper. That way you remove any relase agent left and create a nice surface where the clearcoat will mechanically bond to. A first layer of clearcoat is applied as a base coat followed by a red for the Tony Stark Iron man mask and a blue candy for the Pepper Potts Rescue Iron man mask. Once cured the part is carefully sanded again with a 600 grit. Now only thing left to do is masking and applying the golden paint followed by an extra layer of clear.
If you are looking for even better results, after final clear coat you can sand it again and go on with some polishing for a mirror shinny finish!

Without speech. Thanks for share your experience. Bravo
Glas you liked it 🙂
you deserve more views and a lot of subscriber matt! love from indonesia
Very talented dude!
Cool molds, carbon fiber pokeball is amazing.
Saludos desde Argentina.
very nice the transparent finish!!! cheers from italy!
Greets from Belgium here 🇧🇪
This is awesome, and i have no knowledge about any of this, but would it be possivle to use colored resin for the infusion?
love all your work :D wish i had the skill and money to make more carbon :D but awesome work you are always an inspiration :D
Thanks! Haha it is indeed an expensive hobby 😁
Ooh 😲 I want that Red one!
Haha glad you liked the parts made here
Could you make a carbon xbox or PlayStation controller
Great video. What kind of color are you using to mix in with the clear coat, to get your red and your blue?
Thanks
Wow!! This is awesome, are flat sheets of carbon fiber sold?? And I need a 8mm od round tube of carbon fiber about 3-5 inches long. To repair my Vantage exhaust pipe, the tip is broken off... thanks any help is much appreciated
Always perfect like all of your work. 😊😊😊😊
Can you tell me with what did you colored the clear coat? Do you use the pigments for the epoxy or something else?
Thanks! Yes a coloring pigment was used and added to a clear clearcoat
Same pigments used for epoxy resin? Or they are specifically for the clear coat? The final look is amazing😍
hello, congratulations fantastic job, what paint or material did you use to make the carbon red or blue.
Greetings from Italy.
thank you
que chido bro estaria super chingo si hicieras el trage v: pero esta super mega dificil
Can that be used for a wedding helmet if the eyes for the Miller welding glasses?
Awesome Matthieu.
May I ask your thoughts on coloured Carbon fibre?
The ones that add a coloured polyester 'string' through the twill to give it a colour.
Hi, used it in the past and not a big fan of it, I use it only when necessary... Difficult to sand and trim, but when we'll used its a cool effect you can use
I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Jaxton Titan Instablaster ;)
@Iker Kaison I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Iker Kaison WTF IT REALLY WORKED! Just got access to my Instagram password after roughly 45 minutes of using the site.
Just had to pay 15 $ but definitely worth the money :O
Thanks so much you saved my account!

Hi thanks for your video.
I have a question what is exactly the painting red and blue you put on the mask to get the Colors and the cabon style ?
can you show how you tint the resin in a video? do you purchase it from easy composites as well?
Good work, but you got the design wrong. The eye slits are slightly smaller and there is a small gold piece on the bottom lip.
the gold piece is indeed there, difficult to see but it is present
@@myles137. true, but still a very noticeable difference in look and design as a Marvel fan. Kinda takes away the nostalgic feeling seeing the imperfect look of the remake
could you make me carbon fibre sunglasses (just the frame)
How much would it approximately cost to have all equipments to build this. I imagine the vacuum pumps to be the most expensive.
perfecto
Thanks ✌️
Saludos desde españa 💪💪💪👍🙆
Thank’s for the tip of how Koenigsegg gets their results on their carbon fiber paint job 👌👌👌
what about the finish of the inside mask? How was it?
Marcos Redondo looks like he probably kept the peel ply finish on the inside.
Do you always degas your resin using the vacuum pump?
Depends if I have time or not 🙂 sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, depends on the part and time I guess
my favorite Marvel superhero is iron man
Thor is a close second
They ruined thor in endgame
after watching you i want to make carbon fiber at that moment
Haha that's a nice compliment! Always nice to hear I can be of some inspiration
Favor de decirme en español culés son los materiales a usar. De antes manos gracias
69 ÷ 3 = ?
nice job dear Matthieu, please if you can make a carbon fiber car bonnet please without resin infusion thanks for your videos
You would always want a part like that resin infused.
Both for weight and strength.
I've seen a few car bonnets made wet lay and in all honesty. The comparison to infusion is amazing.
You really do not want a wet lay car panel.
@@jparky1972 yea agree , infusion ends to better results but it takes lots of resin, I made an infusion with 50 to 100 cm are and 200gr carbon, I used nearly 510 gr resin, then I did a 100 to 150 cm are with 600gr e glass and used 600 gr resin and at the end I did put another 100 gr glass on it without any resin and it came out very strong with much less resin
Usually use LESS resin on an infusion part.
@@jparky1972 resin got wasted in tubes, vacuum mesh, peel ply, etc , the best way to use less resin and the good part is wet hand layup then vacuum bag
Shorter pipes.:)
But the part is more important than what might be wasted in the pipes and infusion mesh.
You sir are NL dutch
where did you buy the clear coat?
I buy these locally here in belgium
What compressor do you use to spray ?
Nothing special, just a regular one with 50l tank and 480l/min of output
Matthieu, great work! i'm not at all a fan of these cartoon-movie-thingy, like not interested, i don't even know much :-)) but i highly appreciate your work! thank you! ;-)
about sanding. the second time (after the color clear coat) you did it with 600 grit (as you wrote) and in the video i see some liquid. was it sanded with water the second time? why was that?
thank you & best regards!
Haha I don't really think the topic is the most important part in these kind of videos but more the way of working that can be translated to every part you make 🙂 just used water indeed to be able to see I'm not sanding through the colored coat
:-)
so, the water thingy is just for being able to see better, and has no practical-mechanical reasons behind, right?
(was asking cause i've seen, from time to time, people sanding with water but didn't know the reason)
thankss ;-)
@@mirceaandreighinea correct! And it makes less dust so your sandpaper don't clog up as fast as well
hi, Matt!
one question, if you can/have time:
if you make a solid part, like a sheet of carbon (many layers), and in there, as a layer, you have also some kevlar reinforcement, how do you cut it? can you do it with regular cutting tools or it requires some special tools?
thank you! :-)
@@mirceaandreighinea just regular tools but as sharp as possible
Is it possible to buy one? Lol I need the blue one
No sorry not at the moment 🙂
pls make a carbon fiber mask of black panther
Супер!!!
Hey, supertoffe video! Ik denk dat je ook een Belg bent dus vandaar in het Nederlands 😂, kan je aub even laten weten of je inderdaad een Belg bent? Thx
Haha Belg inderdaad, accent is niet weg te stoppen 😁
@@MatthieuLibeert Geweldig om te zien dat je zo groeit! Doe zo voort! Heb je misschien nog tips voor mijn kanaal?

Thanks for sharing the process. That is very helpful. I don't care much about making masks but I love how you teach the process of making the mold, layup, and finishing. The pace and amount of content were just right. The end result looks great. Thanks again!
I'll share your video in the Shop Hacks Facebook group. I think a lot of people there would love to see the process of making a mold then making a carbon fiber part. I hope you get a lot of view from the group. facebook.com/groups/shophacks
Sure go ahead, thanks 😉 a little less ads as well as you could have noticed 😁 haha
@@MatthieuLibeert LOL, I already forgot that was your channel. Your content is great so the number of commercials I would be willing to watch is going up. Great work.
