_______________________________________________
In this extended video tutorial I'll explain you how you can skin any part you found around you with carbonfiber - carbon fiber (fibre).
By skinning parts you will add carbonfiber on top of your original part. By doing so you will add weight, but you will also add stiffness to your part. You can compare skinning parts with carbonfiber with flattening parts before paint with bondo. You add layer after layer and sand inbetween to get a high gloss finish at the end. In this tutorial all materials used are from easy composites. You can find their website down below, as well as direct links to the products you will need. They also did a skinning tutorial you can find on following link: • How to cover parts in ...
Step by step I'll go through the following in this video:
- Chose your part
- Sand and Clean your parts
- Add a basecoat
- Wrap or skin your part with dry carbonfiber
- Vacuumbag
- Add epoxy resin and sand
- Clearcoat
- Finish and final look

Thanks Matthieu. Highly appreciate you leaving fails and errors in the video. Very well executed.
Thanks for putting your mistakes on here! It's very humble and helps us out a lot. Sometimes how NOT to do it is just as important as How to do it! Great video!
Thanks man, exactly what I was looking for.
I started playing with CF Skinning recently and wanted to see someone vacuum bagging the thing. Really helpful, gonna save me some time and few pennies!
Yeah I liked it! That's amazing. Do you know if this material is flammable? I am a welder, and I would like to apply this process to my welding hood for me and my brother.
Or perhaps do exactly when you did but put welding dark lenses for the eyeholes.
It's good to see the learning curve. Usually people edit that out! Thanks for the vid!
Great job! I have a question, I want to make a blade using carbon fiber, for knives, katana etc. Not for cutting, just props. Can you give some ideas on how to make it, like do i need to use a mold or not
Great job
Thanks 😊
i really enjoyed watching the whole video 😄🙌 i learned a lot! Thank you!!
Where did you get your red cf material? I have bought many meters of it from easy composites but when I hold it up to the light I see lots of weave separation lines which leave a really bad finish.. even the product photo online shows gap lines, yours however didn't I so think you must have ordered it somewhere else?
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing! Question...could you have cut the eye and mouth holes out before applying epoxy/hardener? Any disadvantages to doing that way?...Thx! keep up the awesome jobs!
Excellent videos, I'm just starting out and use easy compersites as well but see many different ways of doing it. Your being one. You final coat of resin did you sand after yup to 1200 them polish or do you spray laquer?
nice work, i like these. at the end, what did you set in the eye sockets? can you see through it?
Tip: using solidworks you can download .stl files of masks and so on and use "flatten" option to flatten the surface of the mask from 3D to 2D with the option of release cuts built-in to prevent warping. Print on paper for a template to cut the carbon fiber.
sharon f im new with solidworks.. is there any tutorial on use the " flatten " feature ?
Thank you for sharing this with all of us here on TH-cam.
When sanding are you looking for a specific area or do you just sand the entire mask?
Nice gedaan man respect!! ik zou graag delen van mijn dashboard willen doen die nu een houten look hebben. is de base coat ook in nederland te koop?
Great video... Thank you for taking the time to post this. Awesome work.
Tot de bus met ontvetter bijn 2:53 had ik niet door dat ik naar een Nederlandssprekende vlogger keek. Je hebt me geïnspireerd. Ik ga proberen of ik het dak van mijn Land Rover kan namaken. Thx!
Another amazing video! You dont stop impressing me Matthieu
Thanks oTunis!
Awesome video! I appreciate the effort it takes to make these tutorial videos for us.
One question, if you are lazy is it possible to achieve similar results with Carbon Fibre Vinyl Wrap? Will it still be durable? Thanks heaps.
I appreciate your tutorial. I learned a lot. The explanations and the links to the products used was instrumental in my further understanding of this process. Thank you.
Great video! Very good explanation of the entire process
Thx for the detailed instructions! Great vid!
how did you add the metal mesh inside? how did you attach it?
This is amazing! Good job!
Hello when you vacuum pumped at 7.36 did you place anything over the mask? Did the bag stick to it? Thanks
Thanks for the video. Did you vacuum bag with one of those cloth storage bags? Did you get a decent vacuum?
Hey! I was wondering if doing something like this (and adding a little extra padding) would make one of those good for paintball?? It seems like it would add a lot of strength and thickness to the mask and it might offer some protection.
can you do the same with kevlar
What kind of vacuum pump do u have if u don't mind me asking?
what kind of mesh did you use for the eye shields?
my friend, I know it is not your area, but the carbon fiber bike frames are made with what material along with carbon fiber? Thank you
i wonder if i can use prepregged material for this?
Have you thought about rc boat hulls
Nice work. Also, from where did you get the colored CF ?
This is great! The iron-man mask is perfect! Your vids make me want to learn more and more about carbon fibre. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your fans =)
Thanks for the support once again Peter ;)
do you have to use the vaccum , what does it do for carbon
I really like the iron man one! great work man!
Thank you. I appreciate you showing the errors as much as the success :). It helps us all so much.
Great post.
Thank you watching from Philippines. what brand of vacuum machine and how much is the price. Thanks again
hello friend what brand of bags using
Awesome, can't wait to try this.
If you are just going for the look just us g.p. Resin with a heavy clear gelcoat sprayed over it after sanding. Use wax solution thin with styrene and maybe a touch of speed patch. Wetsand 320 6-800 buff. It can be done in and hour or so from start to finish
.
Hi,a spray gun can be usted to apply the ressine?
Have you figured out a way to vacuum bag the first layer of resin onto the carbon fiber? Did you try it using a different bag material or another process?
To minimize bubbles... make sure you're putting on extremely thin layers at a time. Also use a hair dryer or heat gun with the resin is still wet to eliminate the bubbles.
Thomas Christopher White thanks for the tips!
Thomas Christopher White when? while it's in the vacuum bag or what?
U WUT M8? No no no.. if you have a vacuum bag or using a mold and vacuum bag method, you only need to let the air bubbles drain out with the excess resin since that process is already air tight. Using a hair drier or heat gun to eliminate bubbles only applies if your doing brushing on layers of matting and resin.
sweet thanks!
hello dear...can only make the mold for Haval H6 2022 display dashboard culster cover
Nicely done!
I will attempt this using the papakura iron man helmet. Any suggestions??
Any idea how much it would cost to do a motorcycle helmet?
Thanks sir. Any chance you can show us how to make the vacuum thing.
do ever use heat, like with a blowtorch to burst the airbubbles ? i seen i done on expoy countertop and so on. since heat expands air it makes the bubble burst.
love your videos I bet one of your vids will go viral and you'll be great
What is an alternative to the basecoat?
Excellent tutorial really enjoyed it thank you
Hell yeah man thats really cool
me harias un guardabarros delantero y trasero de una yamaha R1 04,en el color rojo'-???
Can I use wax or release agent on the mask so that I can remove the cured carbon fibre from the plastic mask to achieve carbon resin only mask for lesser weight result?
Your Elastifilm is very thin! what is type of it and where can I purchase?
Where i can buy a starter kit?
odd question but can you do a tutorial on how to give a midevil closed helm some kevlar or fiber glass interior lining to give it balistic armor properties? odd i know but if you could that would be great.
Just came across this video..and i really liked it.Awesome tutorial..and loved the result :)
Thank you ,from Norway :)
+fuckinlowdowndrummer Thanks a lot!
Amazing Nice vid I would love to see some more keep it up you earned yourself a subscriber :)
is it possible to buy this mask from india??? i mean can i get a order from india
Did you use breather cloth?
That red texalium looks good in the end shots!
hey ill give you some advice... use lke 2400grit wet sandpaper it'll look better
Cool work
this is amazing!!!
Awesome work.
thank you for taking your time to describe in detail on how to. you helped a lot with my questions and how to's.
+Kurt Avila great to hear that! you're welcome
Where did you buy the reusable vac bag? Iv tryed a few thst just burst because they can't hold the pressure.
Buy them locally, not ideal indeed, that's why I stopped using them
Glad to hear about Legacy props in this 😁
i love your videos
i like before watching everytime
I'm looking to buy one
Thanks for your clear tutorial 👍
We're u find red carbon fiber
Was würde so eine ironman maske kosten mit carbon ?
Excellent tutorial Matthieu ....... many thanks for sharing.
Did you spray the final coat of resin on, or were you able to sand out all the bubbles to get that mirror like finish ?
Also, do you think or have you tried skinning ABS plastic, does it adhere to abs OK ?
Thanks
TURK
Probably abs isnt the best, most plastics will kind of be releasing, so a good sanding at the beginning is the most important, last coat was sprayed and left like that
Now put LED's in the Iron Man's eyes and it looks AWESOME! Great Work!
What song is that playing around the 3:40 mark? Very nice video btw.
Great video and better work.
Great vid mate
Is this a special carbon fibre or you heat it up before hand as it seems really soft ...
***** no regular carbonfiber :)
Would it be better to do it in an autoclave so the pressure pushes the vacuum bag down even more into the ridges of the Spider-Man mask?
depends if your original part can stand the heat
What do you use for the lenses for the iron man mask
metal wirw grid I found in a local DIY store
Really good video. I was just wondering if you learn these skills by yourself or you attend to some course on this field ? I am thinking about making a few things from carbon at home, but I still need to buy a few stuff to get started (vacuum pump, resins etc.).
I've learned everything by myself the hard way: A lot of failing and learning :D just buy yourself the stuff (If you have some spare money, can be an expensive hoby :D ) But it's so worth it! Best of luck
Wouldn't it be better to make molds out of the original masks?
Hi Matthieu The brush gets hardened after applying a layer of resin and can't be used again. Is there anyway to resuse brush again?
Leo Yuan the brush cant be used again once the resin in it has cured. but there is a trick, you can clean them/store them in acetone but, unfortunatly for nature, it's cheaper to buy cheap brushes and throw them away
Is that just one of those vacuum clothing storage bags that you are using to vacuform the carbon fiber to the maskat about 7:35? Or is it similar system but more durable?
Scooter McG just one of those clothing storage bags :)
Te felicito, es un gran video. Leonardo. Colombia.
Thumbs up for the great effort to get it right =] Good job
thanks for the positive comment ;-)
Do you use respirators or similar equipment when cutting carbon fiber? If not, I advise you to. CFs are dangerous to our lungs. We could possibly inhale small pieces when cutting.
superbe travail bravo
What are the ingredients? Pls list out?
How much to buy one?
I always was thinking that skinning basecoat is used for nice glossy surface and you are using it for inner side
the basecoat is used to get a grip between the cf and surface you are skinning
does this make the mask more shock resistant?
That's amazing work
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job!
A personal recommendation for the masks is to get some clay, oil based preferably since water base dries quickly over time, and fill the insides of the mask. So once you start vacuuming the mask doesn't lose its form and you get a better result since it rests on the clay.
great idea, thanks for the input!
And just to clarify the glossy texture as seen in the end is after washing/degreasing the mask yes?
+GaiaChrono the mask is right after clearcoat
