| Carbon fibre "vac bagging" |

| AdeV:
Hello! :wave: I'm after learning how to do carbon fibre dry layup/vac bagging/resin infusion, to make race car parts & such like; mainly panels I suspect. Can anyone recommend a good book on the subject? So far, most of the glassfibre/carbon fibre books deal with wet layup, or briefly cover vac bagging carbon fibre which needs baking (I don't have a large enough oven to cook a big CF piece). Supplies appear to be readily available here in the UK, there's even one company offering a "complete vac bagging starter kit" c/w resin, cloth, vac bag stuff, vacuum pup & fittings, which sounds rather good. I guess instructibles & youtube will also be good learning resources. |

Hi Ade, No books, but plenty of videos. I will post up some links when I get to work. Eric. |

Also you might check in with the homebuilt/experimental aircraft crowd/forums/books. Lots of small scale high tech how-to lamination going on there. |

This guy does a good series on youtube. **EDIT** same guy as tekfab listed. Video 1. FiberGlast has a learning center that has a ton of info. Specifically a video SERIES on bagging. I have found that the instructables and maker crowd are a little less versed in good instruction when it comes to bagging. Eric |
