Mar 23, 2012 - Just a little question: If carbon fiber is almost as strong as steel, how can you cut or sand it?

ThEc00lEr Says:

Mar 23, 2012 - you cut it with scissors and sand it with sand paper =D

yonchvader Says:

Mar 25, 2012 - Yes that I understand, my question is how can you cut such a strong material with scissors.

ThEc00lEr Says:

Mar 25, 2012 - When it does not have resin on it then it is like cloth. It is not hard and you can cut it with a normal pair of scissors. The resin is what gives it that strength like fiberglass.

Mar 26, 2012 - Hi Yonchvader, well, firstly, steel can be cut and sanded too. The main reason it's much easier with carbon is because carbon fibre's strength works differently to steel, it's a bittle material with poor 'elongation to break' properties which means fibres can be individually broken easily (which is why sanding is so effective). Weight-for-weight however the tensile strength is higher than steel which is why it's referred to as 'stronger' than steel.

Mar 30, 2012 - can you wrap a foam RC airplane canopy with this? Will it adhere to foam?

carbonmods Says:

Mar 30, 2012 - It depends what type of foam the canopy is made from. If it's Depron then the bond will be ok but it won't be fantastic. If it's PU foam, styrofoam, or PVC foam then the bond will be a lot better. You should ensure that the canopy (or anything you are covering) is keyed-up properly (with coarse abrasive paper) which will help the 'skin' stick to any material.

Mar 30, 2012 - You would only pay £22 if you are in a country that's a long way from us. We charge exactly what the postage costs us (the price we pay will be printed on the label). In many cases; the USA, Australia etc. we actually charge less for postage than the postage costs us. We all wish postage was cheaper but sending a 2kg kit half way round the world is not going to be cheap. I think charging less than it costs us is pretty fair but it's your choice :)

Apr 14, 2012 - Can this process be done to a flexible exterior plastic auto part such as the lower rear fascia of a Corvette. Can the overlay take a little flexing and will it stay laminated to a flexible plastic part? The only flexing would be while sanding. The part does not flex on the car. Thanks for the video.

Apr 18, 2012 - io sconsiglio questa operazione : 1. è un lavoraccio lunghissimo 2. le resine poliestere puzzano molto e sono nocive per inalazione 3. se non siete bravi con il fai da te non otterrete mai un lavoro accettabile, seguire i bordi è davvero molto difficile 4. considerate che i pezzi aumentano considerevolmente di peso 5. la superfice difficilmente rimarrà omogenea e priva di puntini (buchi) 6. non si torna indietro ! se il risultato non vi piace non potrete ripristinare il pezzo originale !
