Great video! What is the green tape you used on the backside of the housing? I assume it is used for keeping epoxy and carbon from sticking in the places you dont want it to stick?
First of all, great video, secondly, I can understand your anger very well in some places in the video😅. The processes to produce carbon parts are really complex. I'm currently working on wheel hub caps and could go crazy. On the first try I had poorly mixed epoxy, on the second try air bubbles had formed under the first layer and on the last try I had air bubbles in the claren epoxy top layer that I couldn't sand out
Why didn't you just make a mold so you don't have to deal with the hassle of sanding? I have always wondered why people use male molds or skin original parts rather than making a mold and producing the part. That way you can take advantage of the carbon properties being light weight. But skinning adds weight to the part (unless it's for reinforcement).
Well depending on the part it can become time consuming. Also depending on what your doing it for as well. Like me I skin becuase I'm not focused on weight savings. But for some who want to make mad production and get functionality then I see molds as a good choice

This is why we charge what we do.
Can you still reuse the foam brush after each coat or use a new one?

This part was too complex for me to mold it

Do you get a lot of pinholes in the final clear coat because of air bubbles?
Only a little. I do a light spray
the wiring of the sequential is fire !
U user wrong epoxy type or this plastic is not ABS. On Non abs plastics use special chemicals
I stopped watching when you don’t show the amount of export and resin. Thumbs down for me
