  • Just wanted to help! Aluminum and carbon fiber touching will cause galvanic corrosion. Anodize or coat the aluminum with something. Ultimately the part will fail because of the galvanic corrosion. Hope this helps! Love your channel and your a rock star with engineering💪🏼

  • Hi Jeremy, a few points: - For safety I was told that you should always use a respirator and/or work in a well ventilated area when dealing with epoxy resins. It isn't an issue immediately but a professor of mine who built composite aircraft as a hobby mentioned that the long term buildup of vapors is detrimental and proper PPE / ESC should be used when regularly working with epoxy composites. - Another cool feature of the more textured peel-ply is that it leaves the cured surface ready for bonding with other composite parts. If you wanted to add more material or join two already cured parts that peel-ply saves you the effort of prepping the surfaces for more binder material. - You kind of touched on this but in addition to weave patterns being able to affect the directional strength of the composite, you can also stack multiple layers of different weaves to 1) provide more thickness = more cross-sectional area in a classic bending load = higher strength and 2) have multiple directions in which the stands are aligned with. If you know the forces the part is expecting, you can have most of your layers supporting that situation but other layers aligned to resist torsional forces. The example I would go to is with the checkerboard weave, you can offset a layer by 45 degrees to get more overall strength and stiffness. Very cool video!

    • You don't need a respirator during layup. Epoxy resin and hardener has very low vapor pressure. Most people do not worry about the vapor when doing layup with wet epoxy. The biggest danger is getting it on your skin or eyes. Over time you can develop a sensitivity to the resin or hardener or both. Once that happens you will probably not be able to work with epoxy any more. Also, some of the hardeners, in particular, can do fairly immediate damage to your eyes. So I would suggest that you should wear gloves and glasses and a plastic face shield. The respirator is really not needed or is much less important than the other PPE. Now, when sanding epoxy, especially if it is not fully cured (less than 7 days for room temperature cure), you should definitely use a particle respirator or dust mask. And if you ever spray it then you need absolutely state of the art protection because it is very bad to breathe in the uncured epoxy aerosols. But for wet layup with brushes, not so much. Peel ply has release agent in it. When you remove it, some pieces of the peel ply remain on the work piece. According to the experts, it is best to sand the surface lightly after removing peel ply if you need a good bond. There are some peel plys with no release agent. But if you are not sure, then it is best to sand.

    • @@EricBrummer Great advice. Bis A epoxies are 100% solids and the fumes are not all that toxic. However, the cleanup solvents are, and your point about the fibers is completely correct. If using vinyl and poly ester resins, masks are really crucial. I have worked with composites for about 30 years, and I never work without a full face respirator rated at P-100 for Organic vapors, I add little pink dust catchers to the filters because they catch the big chunks.

  • Regarding the cost of Carbon Fiber. The carbon fiber itself is like buying any other fabric... by the yard. You can buy as little or as much as you need. Think about it this way, you can make a part as strong as steel, as light as plastic, and all without the skills or cost of CNC, a welder, etc. If you can use a pair of scissors you can make it. That is amazing to me. I think its great for DIYers and the budget. Also please try out the sponsor as that really helps the channel.

    • You shouldn't lay carbon fiber directly onto metal, carbon fiber conducts electricity and if it is bonded to metal can create galvanic corrosion especially if the part is likely to come into contact with moisture like on a boat, car or motorcycle. A way to stop this happening is to put a thin layer of fiberglass as a barrier between the carbon fiber and the metal part.

    • Carbon Fiber, especially Epoxy Resin, needs an oven and pressurisation to reach the advertised strength. The reason the biggest Steel Ships are much bigger than the biggest Fiberglass ships is simply because the cost and complexity of the assembly outweighs the production in steel by an unreasonable margin. For casual applications it's fine, buy you can't make full car chassis with it, for example.

  • I have been working in the composites field for several years and just wanted to talk about other materials as well : - Glass Fiber - cheap, brittle (doesn't handle shocks or abrasion well), very light. Mostly used for boats. - Carbon Fiber - medium priced, sensitive to abrasion but resistant to shocks, medium heavy. Mostly used for air-related pieces (speed cars, tuning, aeronautics, space) - Titanium Fiber - high price, resistant to shocks and abrasion, quite heavy. Mostly high-standards pieces (aeronautics, space, some fine engineering stuff). Yes, this basic hint is not a hard rule whatshowever because you can use different weave patterns (as described very well in the video), use different layers with different materials, mixed meshes and so on... I just mentioned it to give a general hint for the viewers. Choose your fiber materials according to the project you are making. Once you understand how it works, everything will be simpler. Multi-layer is also possible but harder for beginners as you have to deal with multiple constraints. As explained briefly in this video, bubbles are your worst enemy, especially if you need uniform resistance on a surface. Generally, the quicker the hardener, the hotter it will get, which can also have an effect on the mold you are using (deformation due to high heat). The resin that you use can make a huge difference as well (UV-resistant, thermal range of use when finished, and so on...). Please use masks, eye protection (specially if you sand it because it creates very tiny particles that can be very toxic for your lungs) and all the other protections you might find useful to protect yourself. The fibers are not that harmful but the particles and the vapours can be. Thanks you for the video, I really enjoy people talking about this subject, as it is indeed very interesting.

  • For something like the knight, you should make a negative mold (probably in this case two or more parts is easiest for layup) and then polish the interior to a high level of finish so that you can layup the carbon fiber directly against it and get a perfectly smooth outer surface. The separate halves are then joined afterward and the seam can be polished smooth (especially since this piece is mostly decorative and doesn't require high strength).

  • You could use rubber membrane press or some sort of rubber sock arround the knight (those can press tight areas without wrinkles) and you could model holes into the knight so that epoxy would flow into the part. So you would not need any peel ply (silicone membranes are self releasing and you would have "dry" carbon), breather etc. You could also get a 3d printed part out of it to make it lighter by heating it up. Also try gluing carbon onto the part with car spray glue, then use silicone kitchen brush to wet it up (reusable) and then pull a vacuum and work epoxy inside the holes by hand (diy autoclave carbon). The mould could be done of hard wax to be mented out in the end

Thank you for taking us on your journey over the pointy bit of dunning kruger.

    • Carbon fiber and fiberglass are more or less identical processes to my knowledge, though there are definitely a lot of different ways to deal with both. Heck, carbon and fiberglass can even be used in the same layup for a single part. Probably the biggest difference in handling the two is how they respond to a pair of scissors. Well, and carbon might be a bit messier... I've done very little with fiberglass but I spent a year working with carbon and let me tell you, that stuff gets everywhere...

  • Good for you on practicing composites. My advice don’t be afraid to practice with fiber glass and cheaper epoxies. The hardest part of composites is the labor so being able to practice is essential to getting good at lay ups.

  • I just want to say I watch videos on creation of carbon fiber parts… 3d printing… and just self education and learning stuff… I am a pretty reserved person with taking risks … watching your videos … attempts creations success and “failure”which is just progression so please don’t take that word as negativity. We don’t learn right away… and you have truly inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and take a chance on my self to start trying something I always wanted to do. So truly thank you. I appreciate your video and your words. Thank you.

  • Awesome video. We can tell you love us because only a person truly in love would go after that level of complexity for their first carbon fiber layup, and do it on camera. Don't stress about getting content to us sir, we are not going anywhere. Btw- I totally appreciate the realism of affixing things to the bench, etc., etc. That level of honesty is refreshing.

  • Jeremy, my friend Craig has a you tube channel called Throttle Stop Garage. He is making carbon fiber fenders, hood, trunk lid and many other parts for a 1967 Volvo tudor sedan. He's Canadian and VERY meticulous with his bagging and vacuuming. His trick is to pull a vacuum and draw resin into the bag. You really need to watch him, you'll learn a ton. Good Luck and keep the vids coming!

  • That take away, "learn something new". I took on a project to make a part for my adventure van, it was going to involve printing with ASA, and I've only been learning 3d printing, relearning CAD in general, and learning Fusion360 for just about a year. I've learned so much about part design. I've learned so much about my printer, working with the higher temp filament, getting good at bed leveling, etc. I've learned so much even just about all the little details in the slicer settings! In the end, the part is buried in lap sealant and barely visible, but I'm so happy I took it on and am energized to try even more new things!
