I have seen some very impressive custome work on this site and the latest had me thinking. If the door panels that I have seen did not require a vac bag, how did they do it. I have worked fiber glass before, and even had access to a vac bag set up when I worked on helos, but not anymore. With the cost of carbon fiber I would like to avoid a steap learning curve, so any info on techniques, amounts and types of materials, would be greatly appreciated. How do you get the pretty finish?

You are able to sand and polish the "finished" side of c/f. If you have small imperfections after you remove it from the mold, like air bubbles, you can rough up the area, mix up some resin and fill the hole. Let it cure and hit it with some 320, 400, 600 paper, than bring out the shine with some rubbing compound.
Not a big deal, really. Paul |
