I am very interesting in learning to make my own carbon fiber parts but don't know much about the subject. I know its very similar to fiberglass but I want to be able to do it right. I found a website that sells kits to make molds and other kits to make the actual carbon fiber parts but I have never heard of this company. Has anyone had any experience with these guys or ever used their kits? The site is http://www.eastbaycomposites.com/.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks!

yea making carbon fiber is just like fiberglass, you just use carbon fiber cloth instead of fiberglass

Im no expert on the subject, but most people I know that make CF parts use a vacuum forming process. I dont know exactly how it works, just know that is how most CF parts are made.

A vacuum form is for getting out all the air bubbles and to compress the cf together. A cheap way to do it, is to put the part in a bag and hook up a vacuum to it to suck all the air out, the pressure will compress the cf making it stronger.
