DIY How to Carbon Fiber Tubes & piping for Intakes how to



This second part covers a lot of ground but the techniques can be used for complex 
projects. To demonstrate how to make a two part mold I’ve decided to mold a tube which 
could be use to make charge pipes, etc. 

All the usual disclaimers_the chemicals are hazardous so use adequate protection. This

each coat dries and buff.  I use clay to form my parting lines along with foam

part. 

This is followed by the foam board which is pressed firmly against the clay and the back 
size is hot glued to the part. Important is the parting line is placed on each center line of the tube.
