Carbon Fiber Table with Epoxy Resin [DIY] 

I appreciate showing the fail and what contributing factors there may have been. Too many people don't appreciate that failure is part of success. Particularly during the learning process. Good job.

Just a bit of advise, a tack clothe works better when it’s fully opened and then lightly balled up, helps activate the adhesive in it. Also when sanding with high grit paper you should use wet, avoids the paper clogging up and causing pig tail scratches in your finish which can show up after polishing since it’s basically gouging into your topcoat.

As a fan of simple tools that make life easier, I think you would benefit from a few different sizes of 'notched' adhesive spreaders, for your gel coat. The notches are small and when the correct size is selected, it'll let you spread the gelcoat around a large area while leaving the right amount behind. This'll let you get the coating over the whole area quicker and prevent extra work needed to fix thin/thick pots.

I think you could make this a lot easier if you wetted the carbon fiber all the way through at first and then used a perforated film with a breather layer under vacuum to get all the excess resin out. Then just quick sanding and you got a nice even surface without these darker spots

Honestly what I'm impressed with the most is your ability to not have a gigantic mess, the few times I've delved into composites yielded good results but awful messes hahaha

Boy, IKEA is really making their table’s assembly complicated now.

Too many people try the AvE editing method these days and just don't accomplish the humor he has with out being funny. That said, thanks for taking the time to film edit and upload this.

You should never have used gelcoat, instead a thin layer of epoxy to establish the wood surface. Once cured you then place the carbon cloth wet and align the weave.

What you put in the table in first place, the black thing

This shit is relaxing..with me being quarantined inside the house i might start carbon fiber everything now

I really like your simple videos, no narration or music. Next time you want a mirror finish on a flat surface just use glass and then bond your laminate to the MDF board.

Feel very satisfied watching the end of video 😆😆😆

this feels like it's trying to give off the vibes of that one knife making channel, and i have to admit it does it quite well

it was amazing.

Hi There Thank you for the video techniques with carbon fibre I have a questuon Hiw would you approach a conical shape 40cm diameter 30cm height Maybe one sheet to cover it all ar once or in pieces or any other way Much apprieciate your help Best

Please, we need a video tutorial on how to make a carbon fiber car steering wheel. There is none on the internet

Good God that first sanding bit gave me the goosebumps lol

I would make it other way. Take a glass as a base. Lay epoxy, then carbon. Use roller to remove bubbles. Then put board on top and vacuum it. You should get nice clean surface.
