    Incidentally, I'm making a fiberglass bodykit, inspired for forged carbon.
    Keep the spirit and achieve success. Thanks👍

    What peel ply is it you used? Is it a nylon ply? The last one I got leaves too much texture. Thanks!

    Hi sir. What type of primer did you use? Im planning to do skinning carbon forged too. But with plastic (motorcycle parts) should i use plastic primer first before applying gelcoat for better bonding?

  • @garyengland5326
    @garyengland5326 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    How do you plan to post cure the resin? With the xcr, if you don't post cure it to a temperature similar to what it will reach on the car in the sun, it will ripple. You ideally need to bake the parts at near 50c for a good few hours before the final and and clear coat.

      Hey Gary, Thanks for letting me know, this is literally the first time I hear about this. I've been using the XCR for years carbon skinning all sorts of car stuff and it has never rippled up on me, but if you're 100% sure then I can take it to a friend who has a big enough oven for these sort of things as I don't have one sadly.

    😅 What is the difference between putting it in a vacuum pack without applying resin like you and putting it in a vacuum pack after applying resin?There are people who apply resin and put it in vacuum packs. I don't know the difference.What's wrong?😭

    This is awesome. I'm getting ready to fix a lip myself with chopped carbon fiber. Where did you get the bags and stuff? I think this is the method I'm going to go as well

    Excuse me sir 😅 did you use a plastic bag instead of peel ply?

    • @LXGspec
      @LXGspec  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      haha nah, iirc in the other video I explained I was goin without peel ply directly for the perforated release film because everything will be fairly dry to begin with and I dont want the peel ply to soak up epoxy nor do I want the peel ply pull off the flakes afterwards.

  • @kristiyantopchiyski

    Good work, i can just recommend using a roller to lay the carbon evenly so it will save you lots of time sanding after

    Does the weight of the fenders feel heavier with the amount of material added?

    • @LXGspec
      @LXGspec  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I reckon it is probably a bit heavier but not significantly in my opinion, most of the epoxy added is sanded off afterall and the covering surface is not very thick. I'll try to weigh things next time I do something like this!
