yay, always great to see you! thank you for the fantastic tips, i just bought carbon fiber for my first project and every single one of these ideas is really useful! especially since i was too cheap to buy release film and a vacuum pump. i really appreciate that you even checked the strength of the vacuum using the converted air pump, since thats a question i had immediately and would have been hesitant without knowing. hope you're doing well!
I cant believe this video, you've reached a new level of teaching.. Your on a path of turning chemistry into a science. #1 & #5 makes things closer to metal working or wood. just brilliant
You would use typically use a permeable release ply with breather cloth to keep it from sticking to the part. Plastic makes a resin rich part, breather cloth is to soak up extra resin and allow the vacuum to be pulled if bagging.
It pulls a relatively low vacuum which is fine for basic bagging and great for items that would crush under high vacuum. For infusion I doubt this would work even for a small part.
@@LindyDesignLab I picked up a pump and valve. This has worked outstandingly on my CF projects. Thank you so much for sharing this. Two gold stars for you. Cheers.
Excellent.

Where have you been?!! Miss your videos. Thanks for posting! Please keep them coming!
I would like to ask if you use painters plastic instead of the cloth we use to catch excess resign.

Thank you! Great vid!
You're welcome, glad it was helpful!
Great idea. Thanks 👍
Very cool! wonder how that pump would do for pulling bubbles out of silicone.
Not a strong enough vac I don't think, but better than nothing.
Wow where have you been with all of these ideas?!?!! This is great stuff!!!! I’m now subscribed thank you and keep the diy carbon fiber tips coming.
Wow! Super helpful tips! Thanks!
Woohoo! A new video! Excellent tips as always
Seriously this was a great video
Woow this is awesome, thanku so much!
Great tips thank you
This was great! Thanks mate!
carbon fiber scientist !!
great tips!
Great video. Appreciate the tips, I believe most of us watch your videos to learn the process. This helps a lot. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful.
Good man.
Can that pump be used for infusion?
It pulls a relatively low vacuum which is fine for basic bagging and great for items that would crush under high vacuum. For infusion I doubt this would work even for a small part.
What temperature ranges do you work with when curing CF? Awesome video!
Max temp set to 125F has been working well with the probe placed in the center where it would get hottest.
@@LindyDesignLab Thank you Lindy, I will start with that number. 👍
Great tips. Thanks!
You're welcome, glad this was helpful.
What valve are you using on the bag please.
Connectors are from ACP Composites.
