talentfinder36 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 If you are sanding the actual carbon fiber weave then you have sanded too deep. Once you lay the resin you are just sanding to make the resin layer even. Mark 99 Eclipse Spyder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you lay the resin you are just sanding to make the resin layer even. depends. when your trimming you'll almost always go through the carbon fiber. top layer sanding you shouldnt ever touch the matting. 610EUROs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 how did we get on the topic of sanding cf? only thing ill have to worry about is the sides where it overhangs but thats not really an issue im worried about.

emperorjj1 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 right but i don't have to sand the actual cf thou right? Ive been under the impression its much like fiberglass but with a single layer of mat and multiples of resin. I would understand the possibility of sanding the actual cf if the whole piece was made of it but since its a fiberglass pod with just the cf cover i wouldn't get to the point of sanding the actual mat. I almost think im oversimplifying it in my mind. Last pods had fiberglass weave that looked extremely clean so im sorta thinking just swap materials and resins and it shouldnt be that crazy hard but it seems like the consensus is cf is harder the glass and the last thing i want to do is finish up the glass on the pods and attempt to do the cf and completely fuck it up J.

emperorjj1 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 the epoxy resin is a hell of alot thicker and getting the hardner ratio is a bit more difficult (if its not right on your fucked) J.
