Carbon Fibre Repair Kit - 75g Epoxy Resin with Carbon Fibre - Accessories Included

Product Information

roll of Surface finishing tape. This is the exact tape we use in day to day repairs ourselves. It is not a ‘shrink tape’ as supplied with other kits. A surface finishing tape leaves a glossy, ‘lacquered’ look to the finished repair, reducing the need for extensive sanding and lacquering. When wound over the repair as directed, under slight tension, there is no need for a shrink tape as the tension applied will create the ‘shrink’ needed. Also, after researching the many ‘shrink tapes’ available, we found that a certain (normally very high) temperature is needed to activate the shrinkage and that temperature needs to be held constant for a certain time period. We felt this couldn’t be achieved at home with a hairdryer of heat gun. Ducatti desmosdici crash damaged rear hugger, front mudguard and instrument binnacle/ inner nose fairing. Next, slide the good tube (wrapped with wet carbon) inside the broken tube, aiming to leave the repair bandage positioned correctly underneath the damaged area of the pole.

Damage causes a slight reduction in load-carrying ability or a slight loss of carbon fibre laminate, then a replacement or repair may be more appropriate. Carbon fibre reinforcement with epoxy repair resin is a possible option. Place the trimmed carbon fibre fabric into place and apply the epoxy mixture to it using a brush or equivalent. Repeat this until a desired number of layers have been created. There are several Carbon Fibre repair route options open to us depending on what is available and what you require: A carbon fibre repair kit can be a helpful tool for fixing damaged carbon fibre components. However, it is important to be familiar with the material and the repair process before attempting to fix anything.

With bold coloured laminates such as carbon fibre, the underlying colour of the fabric may still show through the pigmented resin, especially with thinner layers of resin over the underlying laminate. The kit includes all of the necessary materials and equipment to repair a carbon fibre fishing pole and requires only competent practical skills and a couple of hours of your time to repair your broken or fractured fishing pole or rod so that it is as strong as it was before the damage occurred. If you need to push the HDT of the finished part higher then you could increase post-cure up to a maximum of 80°C as follows:

If you can't see any 'weave pattern' like small squares in the professional repair then it's likely they've used a unidirectional carbon fibre reinforcement, rather than a woven reinforcement. It would be possible for you to use this same reinforcement in your home repairs, in fact we do sell unidirectional reinforcement, although there would be some extra considerations if you use this format of reinforcement.Ideally, the repaired area should match the mechanical and thermal properties of the original structure. Although by no means an exhaustive list, the mould materials, pigments and additives listed below have all been tested and are known to work well with Epoxy Rapid Repair. x 150mm top quality carbon fibre cloth. 1k 90gsm (this means it is thin, lightweight, not bulky and obtrusive, yet strong and has a nice tightly woven pattern). aff ordable : kits are significantly more affordable than hiring a professional to repair carbon fibre damage . Wet lay-up resins used in hand layup re-soften (Glass Transition Temperature Tg) at a lower temperature – 80 Degrees Celsius.

With any of the above, inspection reports can be produced if required using our FARO GAGE arm with Geomagic qualify probe software to show repaired areas against your supplied CAD, or against a measured or white light scanned by us equivalent mirrored area. Any product that you have subsequently cut, shaped, broken or modified, unless found to be faulty or defective. A. A carbon fibre repair kit is a set of tools and materials used to repair damage to carbon fibre compos ites . The kit typically includes resin , hard ener , and activ ator , as well as a variety of brushes , spat ulas , and mixing cups . This is the resin that is used in our Carbon Fibre Rapid Repair kit. If you're wanting to make your own larger version of one of our kits then this is the resin you need.

This includes: (1) identifying and rectifying the origin of any fracture or damage, (2) the surface must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased, (3) loose carbon fibre debris is removed, and (4) appropriate support is installed before the repair process begins. Opened containers of resin, hardener, silicone or chemical release agent, unless found to be faulty or defective. As with many post-cure cycles for resins, the post-cure cycle for our EL2 and IN2 Epoxy Resins is not too sensitive and a range of different post-cure cycles will produce good results, specifically improved mechanical performance and elevated HDT/operating temperature. Post-curing parts that will be used at or exposed to elevated operating temperatures (such as vehicle bonnets/hoods in direct sunlight, engine-bay parts, car interior parts etc.) is strongly recommended to prevent distortion of the parts when they are put into service and experience these higher temperatures. ease of use : these kits come with all the materials needed to make repairs and refurbishments. There are also detailed guides and instructional videos available.
