    Congratulations on the final result and above all for your patience, a piece so large with this technique I would not do it even under torture :D
    For your sake and your loved ones always use protective equipment even when handling dry fiber and resin, it has nothing to envy to asbestos in terms of toxicity

    Not bad, most videos I've seen using forged carbon have matted the fibers down with resin before vacuum bagging, helps with no loose strands and buildup, nice job

    Bin durch ein TikTok video ( XD ) auf das Auto und dann auf dich gestoßen und habe jetzt auch vor bei mir am Auto ein paar teile mit Forged Carbon zu laminieren.
    Das Tutorial finde ich spitze.
    Aber ein paar fragen offen wären noch offen, vielleicht kannst du sie mir beantworten?
    Was ist dass genau für eine Blaue folie ?
    Was für ein Stoff legst du auf die Blaue Folie?
    Was ist das genau für ein Tape welches du nutzt?
    Ist der rote Beutel ein extra Vakuumbeutel?
    Was ist das genau für ein Adpater mit dem du das Vakuum aufbaust( ziehst ? ) ?
    und zu guter Letzt, wo bekomme ich das am besten alles her ?

    Just vinyl wrapped my Yukon in vvivid + Forged Carbon vinyl wrap. Highly suggested if you want a very similar look without the mess. My whole suv is done in a dark grey ghost forged carbon wrap with a matte/satin-like finish and looks amazing! Otherwise, this looks like another fun method with a little more work.

    Out of curiosity now you've done a few panels do you have a rough rough kg/m2 this spreads? My local distributor sells it in 1kg bags of chopped 13mm lengths. Wondering if I'll need one or two for the dash.

      Thank you! I didn't weigh it but I probably added around 750 gram of carbon and another 750 of resin (after sanding down). This isn't exactly the best method for maximizing weight reduction but it is actually adding strength to parts that have been rather thin to begin with.
