Playing with carbon fiber
JM was recently asking me for carbon fiber tips.
Figure now is as good a time as any for a minor carbon fiber thread. . . Just a small note before I begin. This is not how I would make a part for a race car, but for a beginner looking to play with carbon fiber, its a good start.
If I were making a race carbon fiber seat, I would make molds for the top parts and lay up a flat sheet for the bottom of the seat. Then I would fill with core material(think fancy great stuff) and then bond the top to the bottom.
but anyway. ...
Step 1: Go to home depot and buy $5 toilet seat.
Step 2: Tape up carbon fiber how you want it.
Step 3: Present to camera
Hindsight being 20/20, if I had it to do over again, I would paint the seat black.
Step 4: Paint with resin
