Whats up guys

I bought a sheet of carbon fiber and I was wondering what adhesive I should use?

 

Please tell me your not wrapping your hood or trunk. Just buy a cf hood and trunk, lol.

Now, if your wrapping your roof or something to go along with a cf hood/trunk, that's pretty trick.

However, I don't know how to apply it. Sorry.

 

no, i am just going to toy with, maybe do my front badge, a few interior pieces, and possible a little under the hood.

 

they sell a spray adhesive at home depot.

 

Very hard to work with. If you aren't careful, it gets tacky very fast. Then you'll have a hard time laying the fabric down tight without the adhesive sticking to it and pulling the pattern out of alignment. You'll get a wavy effect.

There are certain epoxies sold for this kind of job. They have a slightly longer working time allowing you to smoothly lay the fabric and ensure a tight fit and even pattern.

 

Where did you buy the sheet im interested?

 

I am also interested where you got it. I would love to cover my arm rests or headliner or something with it.

 

You can get it on eBay. Most vendors won't sell to new customers because of the short supply.

I bought a sheet from these guys. It was like 36x36 I don't know how big you guys are looking. It has its own adhevise, basically place and stick.

 

thanks man good find.

 

Their stuff looks like vinyl to me. It's not real CF. It's just a printed vinyl decal.

This seller has real CF fabric:

No its not real CF but if all your looking to do is cover a few things it gives it a nice look.

These R the items that this guy covered in CF

 

i bought the sheet to experiment with it, mainly to do my front emblem.

this is what i bought from same seller and all. i offered 25 and he came down to 27.99.

any kind of slow drying adhesive or epoxie will work?

 

Not to be a downer but that guy did a really bad job on the fuel door. You can see where the weeve is spaced uneven and pretty crappy. If I ordered something like that I'd be pissed when I got it.

For those of you who want carbon fiber supplies check out http://www.fibreglast.com/ They are super helpful when you call them and they ship quick. They are high on their cf though so I suggest finding other sources for that but their adhesives and epoxies can't be beat.

I did my fuse box cover in cf and it turned out so so. Just fair warning to everyone be prepared to waste a lot of expensive cf when you are just starting out.

 

id def. move outside with those pieces...once you lay that opoxy you dont want any fibers from the carpet and **** getting into it...once you clear it you will see eveything you got in it.
