Figure 7.7b – Infusion
When the resin mixture fully covered the wheel and started entering the vacuum tube, we clamped off the resin tube and left the pump on to guarantee a vacuum so the resin would stay in place until hardening and curing took place. After the carbon fiber cured (about two days), we removed everything, leaving only the carbon fiber wheel with infused hub.
Flange Adhesion
After the resin cured we removed the flanges in Figure 7.2d and applied a high strength epoxy to them. We immediately bolted the flanges back on and left them to dry.
