PC'n CARBON FIBER

[confused]

Has anybody ever PC'd a carbon fiber bicycle. Just need to know if this can B done and if there
is ant special prep or outgassing issues. If this can be done it will bring in quite a bit of work for me, since
I will help sponsor a BMX racing team not to metion some free advertisement. Thanks a bunch

Unless you know the temp capabilities, it's not recommended so much,... especially on structural stuff like a Bicycle frame.... It has been discussed numerous times on every forum I think.

i have done a piece of carbon fiber from a scrap bicycle frame just to see if it would work .
i had good results , smooth shiny with good coverage (i coated the part at around 250 f to get the powder to stick)
BUT i have no idea if it has weakened the fiber so i would not recommend doing a frame or other similar items unless you get the exact info on the subject from a reliable source before

Like fiberglass the resins used in the making of CF will not withstand the regular curing temps of the powder.You will end up with undercured finish or a ruined bicycle and if you see what a CF bicycle frame costs you may want to steer clear of this job. There are some very low temp powders out there that could be used, but I have found they dont flow as nicely as a higher cure temp powder. So its coat, cure, sand, coat, cure, sand, clear. By the time you're done your $75 coating job ends up being $200-$300. Maybe worth it to someone who can afford a CF frame.
