Step 1: Make Your Mold

First, you need a good mold. This is very important!

Two Ways to Make a Mold:

1. Use an old fender: Cover with release agent so carbon fiber won’t stick
2. Make a new mold: Use cheap wood or foam, then cover with Bondo

Big tip! 사용 pine wood, not hard wood. Pine won’t scratch your mold!

Many pros use two gallons of Bondo to make their molds smooth. This helps get a perfect finish.

Step 2: Pick the Right Carbon Fiber

Did you know there are different types of carbon fiber? Pick the right one!

Best Carbon Fiber Types:

• Hexcel HiMax (very strong)

Let your carbon fiber cure for:

Don’t rush! If you try to remove it too soon, you’ll ruin your part.

Step 6: Remove and Finish
