jayc-glanza17 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 its two sheets of carbon fibre filled with 4mm foam core.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 is he carbon fibre skinning them?Yeah basically the kit comes with a sheet of carbon and all the resin so you are sticking the carbon over the mirror then a thin layer of resin sand it back abit then a thick layer of resin, which you then smooth over and then gloss up. So theoretically it should look like a carbon part Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 watch the video of the skinning looks good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Always wanted to play with making actual carbon items. Their starter kit for mold making looks good, might get that starter and the carbon kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
