The only problem I have with this video is that he makes it looks much more simple that it probably really is. Very organised workspace and a very professional product. I'm impressed !.
This is exactly the kind of methodology I was hoping to see. An outer beauty panel with an inner structural panel bonded to it that recreates the kind of skeletonized raised support structure that companies make with stamped steel in order to use tensegrity to add additional rigidity and support to the panels. Those molds are beautifully made and the gel-coat in flawless. I appreciate your efforts to really work the carbon into the creases and contours of the mold with the spray adhesive to ensure that you have enough material packed in there for the vacuum bag to work with. Beautifully done, this should result in an inordinately strong part that weighs considerably less than the original despite being an order of magnitude stronger.
Thats impressive, excellent work man, i highly advise you to make carbon hood and fenders for new supra. The market is full of bolted fiber glass parts but if you can make a complete part that will be a great business for you. God bless you
Awesome work. Love to see the process. Do you have a video on how you made the molds? Also, have you considered making rear quarter panels for your new edge race car? I was wondering if that’s possible.
hello sir.. I'm a newbie to this method(carbon fiber infusion) Can i ask u few question about the process u did in the video: 1- what clear coat do u use sir? 2- what is the oven temp' u using during the curing process? 3- how long(hours) does it take to full cure the Trunk? 4- do u close the "vacuum pump" after the epoxy is full cover the mold or u just left it running until the trunk is full cure? 5- what glue type(bonding agent) u use to combine the Trunk? That's all.. sorry sir for too many question asking Your answer will help me a lot.. Keep up the great work u do sir :)
I love watching your videos, I am looking at getting into doing this for my self as a result. I did have a question though from when you did the outer shell, did the resin really almost explode into the part where it went very quickly or was that just the time lapse? the reason i ask is because all the others seem a ton slower. Thanks for your time and keep up the great work :)
wow thats amazing i always wanted to see how carbon fiber parts are made now i know its a long hard labores process i want 2 get as much carbon fiber on my car as i can 2 make it lighter after watching this video i have a new found respect n admiration for carbon fiber and your work u r a very good craftsman
I built a custom steel hood for my Subaru Baja with a larger scoop out of a newer STI and have someone wanting me to do the same for their 22 Outback. These one-offs are not profitable at all so I'm trying to gather as much info about composites as I can in hopes of reproducing a few. Thanks for the good time lapse of the process!
Two questions: 1) I have seen some really great "maker" videos by you which includes product you sell. Is your goal to empower folks to make their own custom stuff or give folks a peek at what goes into the making of your parts? 2) The tactical vest. Seen you wear it a few times in videos. Is it a convenient place to store tools as you work?
Is there a reason why you dont leave the outer skin in the mold, glue in the underside (potentually you can use vaccum bagfor clamping) and only than take it out ? Interested to learn as that is how we did large assemblies in marine production to make sure the outer skin doesnt deform. Beautiful work by the way. A pleasure looking at someone doing such clean work.
Do you always clearly see where to cut in the end or is there a risk of easily ruining the cut? When the trunk is installed, will it sit significantly lower than the (original) fenders surrounding it?
What carbon fiber fabric do you use and which spray adhesive? It looks that you can manipulate it really well around corners and details. Great work and nice channel!
@@ajhartmanaeroHi mate, long shot replying to a 10 month old comment but I could use some tips and advice. Is there any way I can reach out to you to ask some basic questions?
Wowwwww Impressive... I would like to know what kind of glue did you aplied on rivets and when you paste 2 carbon parts... I would like glue scrows on my little proyects...
How can i get started in this? This is all very new to me and i would like to make a business of my own out of this one day. Could anyone give any pointers?
NICE !! What are you using for a release agent? Did you put clear coat down on the mould before you laid up the carbon cloth? Thanks for sharing. 10 /10. From New Zealand
How many degree in your oven ? and it's just cure faster or it has another purpose ? I watched your video alot and hopefully, i will open my one day Thanks
how many "k" carbon (thickness) were you using ? noticed it was 2 layers with some brace layers and no core, interested in some extra info if you can share when to use core and thickness choices
Нет дегазации,вертикальный способ вполне работает.смола какая то волшебная ни одного воздушного кратера.не понятно как ты укладываешь кусками ткань,а на готовой делали нет стыков???как ты это сделал???сам композитостроением занимаюсь,респект тебе мастер!все достойно!ответь плиз про смолу и стыки.
Is that the 3M gun you are using to spray your pre cote , if do you like or would you go with something different? I'm using a harbor freight $20 gun but you have to adjust the fan almost every time
In my experience with panel bonding adhesives, it seems to be best practice to spread a thin layer to both prepped surfaces and then come back on one side with a bead of adhesive before clamping together. Probably nitpicking with the amount of clamps you use though
23 minutes is an impressive time to build a trunk lid. That would take me at least twice as long.
It’s sped up?
No kidding. If it weren’t for time lapse, it would take me way longer to get things done.
pretty sure its a joke guys. XD
Oh I thought he was the Flash.
The only problem I have with this video is that he makes it looks much more simple that it probably really is. Very organised workspace and a very professional product. I'm impressed !.
It looks amazing 🥵 Every time I see your videos I want to get into making my own pieces, but I know it's not as simple as you make it look

Love the setup you have, question when trimming the panels how do you dispose of the carbon dust you collect from the vac?
Awesome work. Love to see the process. Do you have a video on how you made the molds?
Also, have you considered making rear quarter panels for your new edge race car? I was wondering if that’s possible.
No on both. It’s possible but not worth it.
Always knocking out of the park. well done!
Did you let the clear cure before you put on first layer of the carbon ? Did you made any preparations of the cured clear before put on the carbon ?
hello sir.. I'm a newbie to this method(carbon fiber infusion)
Can i ask u few question about the process u did in the video:
1- what clear coat do u use sir?

Great work! I'm about to try this for my 1961 Lincoln Continental, so this was ver helpful.

I don’t remember any issues so must have been Timelapse
Such nice work, you make it look so easy to do. Very nice work.

1. Both. 2. Yes
Holy crap. Next level man. Great job.

Interested to learn as that is how we did large assemblies in marine production to make sure the outer skin doesnt deform.
Beautiful work by the way. A pleasure looking at someone doing such clean work.
Definitely a possible way to bond stuff. I pull them cause I don’t have enough clamps that can clear the depth of the flange. Simple as that.
Wait is this guy building car fiber with a bulletproof vest on? I’m subbing
nice job! thanks for the video)))
Do you always clearly see where to cut in the end or is there a risk of easily ruining the cut?

Looks like he was using clear coat as adhesive on the outer part. Not sure about the inner part.
Good job, man!
Is that really clear coat you spray on the mold before applying the fiber? Isn't it release agent?
Great friend. Can you tell me the set point temperature of your oven when curving?
Great work looks amazing💪🏼
Love the videos!! 🔥🔥🔥 Soundtrack too 😂 Who is it
Cool. But everybody make the surface shine, how to make it matte?.
What spray do you apply to get the carbon to stick to the mold? Do you have a video on the products that you use?
craftsmanship, good work!!
Amazing work as always. What in-mold clear and epoxy do you use?
This looks incredible, and your craftsmanship is above any other I’ve seen! How do you make such large molds for your parts though?
I make them myself. It’s just a basic fiberglass mold.
@@ajhartmanaeroHi mate, long shot replying to a 10 month old comment but I could use some tips and advice. Is there any way I can reach out to you to ask some basic questions?
Dayum, that looks great!
true artist. you made it look easy, which I know it's not.
Introducing me from Indonesia, I would like to ask, what adhesive do you use to glue the two sides, and how strong is the adhesive
Is there a reason you use overaized bag and have big pockets inside? Also is there somekinda pattern that you place the fibers?
So is the process the same as fiber glass, very much a beginner lol sorry in advance
Hello! What varnish did you apply as the first layer into the matrix?
Hey love your work but i use the 3m high tack spray adhisive 71. Its for infusion its better than 77. The resin dissolves it ant pushes out......
I have question .why you didn’t laying the carbon fibre just one piece on ??
Wowwwww
Impressive...
I would like to know what kind of glue did you aplied on rivets and when you paste 2 carbon parts...
I would like glue scrows on my little proyects...
Not sure if anyone on here has asked. But would you consider taking on a small project to do side mirrors?
Why do you only apply clear coat to the outer layer
Amazing!! How many hours do they take you?
That’s awesome 👏 How long does this take from start to finish without editing?
Whats the grey tape thing you put on the wdge of the carbon layout pieces
Great work love the craftsmanship wish you sold one for the crown Vic make my pos look a lil better
At which parts of a part must u add reinforcement
How can i get started in this? This is all very new to me and i would like to make a business of my own out of this one day. Could anyone give any pointers?
congratulations on the work, How do you manufacture the matrices? Do you use the original part as malde?
Can you use butter as a release agent?
Never tried it but in theory it may work.
which brand of release agent do you use before putting carbon fiber cloth , its available in EBAY ?
Thanks,
no comment !
😍
Very well done - where do you buy the bonding fasteners? Seems like hard to find, especially in metric sizes.
NICE !! What are you using for a release agent? Did you put clear coat down on the mould before you laid up the carbon cloth? Thanks for sharing. 10 /10. From New Zealand
Dumb question, how come you dont see the overlap of the CF , on final product?
This video will explain it. th-cam.com/video/U-3CQdpYPxU/w-d-xo.html
@@ajhartmanaero 🙏🏽
Sir will you ship in manila?
You are doing very good quality. Hello from Ukraine)
Did you use clear polyester gelcoat at the beginning? Or is it epoxy?
What clear gel coat do you use?
what type adhesive that you used ??
Awsome 👌👍 definitly not a project for biginner 😅
Awesome Video 👍👍
What size Vacuum Pump do you need for this?
Mr white youre a goddam artist. Tgis is art!
You did 👍 great
Very informative 👏
Thanx
How much would an mold this size (in this case 2 molds) cost in materials to create? And how much the carbon fiber end product in materials?
Did you use panel adhesive that the body shops use to mate door skins?
Yes
AJ
can show your plug making? Tks
I did on my airbox lid series.
Can you make me a trunk for my car
Love your work. Can you please let me know what bonding agent do you use with the caulking gun to bond both pieces.
Panel bond.
Wondering what kind of clearcoat you sprayed in the mould AJ?
what release agent you using?
What kind of cutting bits do you use in your dremal when cutting and trimming carbon fiber?
holly shit that looks good!
How many degree in your oven ? and it's just cure faster or it has another purpose ?
I watched your video alot and hopefully, i will open my one day
Thanks
Hey man. Any chance u could possibly make a video on how u created the mold?
Not on this part since mold is done but will do some mold videos in the near future.
how many "k" carbon (thickness) were you using ? noticed it was 2 layers with some brace layers and no core, interested in some extra info if you can share when to use core and thickness choices
What clear coat are you using? gelcoat? Thanks!
Do you make carbon parts for cars not listed on your site. I have some things I would like see about having made for my 2015 Camaro LS?
What parts? We’re in the middle of a wing kit at the moment.
@@ajhartmanaero An engine cover and possible a rear spoiler that could have a wicker bill added to it
what is the spray tack that you're using? Is it visible on the surface? :D Thanks in advance bro :D

Say you wanted to mold a duct for a rear-mounted Radiator. Or hood louvers. How do you add mods to a negative mold?
Gotta do a split mold.
Amazing job bro..
Is he wearing a tactical vest?
Sure am!
How do you decide how large to make your bagging materials
Holy s**t your talented
Your channel has been a big help. Do you degas your resin before infusion?
No
How much do you think buying all of this should cost ?
newb question: how do you hide the joints between the separate pieces, it'll show up right?
Check my videos. Just did one specifically on this.
Hi, what you use to bond both parts together?
How about plan your spiral tubing to infuse it better? Great work, just a tip 😀
I don’t get it.
@@ajhartmanaero you can run the spiral tubing around the sides as well as the bottom, which will infuse everything a lot quicker. 😉
@@pyrothefirst you can infuse to fast.
Where do you get the molds? I have searched and searched and can't find anything....thanks!
I made them.
Is that the 3M gun you are using to spray your pre cote , if do you like or would you go with something different? I'm using a harbor freight $20 gun but you have to adjust the fan almost every time
It’s a $25 gun from Amazon and about 5 years old haha
Amazing work👍👍👍👍
مبدع في عملك
Can you do a video on how to make a wing not wang old school people will get that
That’s one thing I’m gonna hold close to the chest for a long time.
what do you use as a clear coat?
Were do you get your bonding studs?
In my experience with panel bonding adhesives, it seems to be best practice to spread a thin layer to both prepped surfaces and then come back on one side with a bead of adhesive before clamping together. Probably nitpicking with the amount of clamps you use though
What do you do if the original piece has threaded holes and not studs? Would you use something like a nut-sert?
Nut plate
How was the orange mold made? Can you show the process
Gonna be doing some molds soon that I’ll do videos of.
