How To Use EpoxAmite™ to Create Carbon Fiber Composite Parts
Step 1: Creating Fiberglass Tool
Performance car parts are often made of composite materials. Reinforcements such as S-Glass, E-Glass, Kevlar and Carbon fibers are combined with EpoxAmite™ Epoxy Laminating Resin to produce extremely strong yet lightweight parts.
The original model is prepared for the mold making process. This model is one half of a rear spoiler wing. A gel coat is sprayed over the original model. The gel coat is backed with fiberglass and resin for added strength. PVC piping provides support for the tool. The tool is now completed, prior to creating the vacuum bag.
