First, great job and love the transparency. Mistakes will happen and you showed great character in accepting and overcoming them. Second, get a paint correction/inspection light for inspecting the third layer of resin. Lastly, use heat lamps to keep a constant curing temperature on the component, and periodically check the surface with a thermal gun during the curing process.
awesome video only tips id say is tape off the opposite side your working on all around the edges and you will avoid 90 percent of the run off that piles up on each side after it cures.... but always a quality video
Hi Dan,
Thank you very much for a lovely comment. And cheers for the good tip. I do have a few new tutorials on the coloured carbon and the custom fabric now.
I like this video cause u showed the real life problems that happen, I did a desk with epoxy and after every coat it would have runs to the other side & id just add another coat and it would run on my good side. Also the file was another tip I liked👍🏻
Glad you liked the video. Thank you for watching buddy.
How to make your own Real Carbon Fiber deck detailed tutorial. Please watch carefully and you will get all the required information on how to carbon fiber skin the deck.
If any question - just ask in the comments and i will reply ASAP.
You're definitely right about needing patience; My first attempt at skinning was rushed (put on too much resin in one coat rather than many thin coats) and it ended up looking a real mess! 😅
Sorry to hear it mate... you can always sand it down and do it again. Good luck mate.
Thanks@@PavelGarmas, yeah it's all sorted now; as you said, it was just a matter of sanding it back and re-applying epoxy 👍Thanks for your informative video!
Really liked the way you explained everything, from materials to process. Thanks!
Thank you very much! I did try my best and nice comments like this mean a lot!
Top man.
That was amazing the way u explained everything I really aprAppreciate for taking your time
First of all what an awesome video! Your level of detail going through every step is amazing. You can really see how much work you put into one video. Was planning on doing this myself and this video gives me a big boost in confidence for achieving a good carbon fibre deck!
Keep it up!
hello Eppo!
Nice to see you and welcome to my channel buddy. I know that I am not the star youtuber but i do put a lot of time and effort into my videos....i do love what I do and put 100% into it,
I am very , very glad that you liked the video and hopefully you will stick around !
All the best and see you very soon ; )
I wish shipping was not so expensive from across the pond! I have been eyeing up Easy Composites carbon skinning kits and materials. Great work and I hope to be tackling some interior pieces on vehicles soon. Your video has given me confidence.
Hello Sandra!
Thank you so much for a lovely comment....means a lot! It is actually quite easy to do as long as you have the patience : )
Good luck and please keep me posted on the progress.
Any questions - just ask. Here to help!
Sweet vid! Pro tip: Use tyvek tape along the bottom edge of the board (area you want to protect from drips) and all you have to do is peel the tape off after it's cured to touch (12-24 hours depending on resin used) and no sanding drips needed. Also using a large cardboard box over your project provides a dust free environment while it cures.
Awesome! Thank you so much mate.
Wow brilliant tip doing the sander to cut the edges
Glad it helped mate.
Great video! Just thought I would leave a tip here. If you want to protect your material from fraying while you are handling it, tape the area you want to cut. This will make cutting and handling the material easier and will protect the weave. Also, use cotton gloves. The oils in your skin can cause the fibers to reject the resin.
Great point! Thank you very much.
An excellent job explaining the details of this process, Pavel. You have given me an idea: Carbon skin on my snow shovel. I am only half joking. I think it would work, but I wonder how it would hold up in extreme cold?
Well I suppose it would be easier and cheaper to just buy a new shovel as needed:) But a carbon fiber snow shovel would make me the envy of the neighborhood:)
Last week I sent my Evolve board off for an upgrade to Samsung 18650 30Q cells. It is a project that requires some deck modification and is on the expensive side, but I love riding that board and certainly could not purchase an equivalent replacement for anywhere near the cost of this upgrade.
I must say though that for the price Evolve charges, they certainly do not include high quality batteries.
By the way your carbon fiber deck is a thing of beauty!
Hello David! I was worried that you will not show up : ) Thanks God !
The carbon shovel would be awesome!I would definitely make one and have a titanium edge on it for better show cutting .
I am glad that you are enjoying the Evolve board. Upgraded battery is always a good thing. i did upgrade couple of the battery packs using the Samsung 30 Q and the difference is very noticeable! The range and the torques will feel different mate.
Any progress with the ranger? Are you using it at all?
Looking forward to you video! When?
@@PavelGarmas Yes, my friend, I am riding the ranger daily. The vibration may be diminishing just a bit (or I have grown accustomed to it) but I am really looking forward to getting the Evolve back!
As far as a video goes, I need to get a wider angle compact, such as a GoPro, because I refuse to use my DSLR on a skate board:) And I may well invest in new camera at some point:)
normally you must have a vaccum systeme to remove bubble before polymerization. But very nice job man !!!!
Correct, vacuum system is normally used but all the components cost a lot of money and it's not worth getting a full set up if you are not usually it often. Hand laying is hardrr but diable.
Thank you for watching mate 👍
"starting at the middle" - * starts at the end.
You should look into the "Carbon Pro" product that same company offers. It is mainly for skinning and has something added to one side so it keeps all the weaves absolutely perfect. They can't move around all and you get a perfect surface. I just ordered my fist batch of it and I'm looking forward to using it.
p.s. Great video. You explain things well. Thumbs up.
Hi John,
Thank you for a lovely comment. The material you are referring to is called the web-lock. It was not available when i was making the tutorial .... it is fine to use a normal carbon fiber as well as long as you are taking your time.
Have you seen my other two videos - the colored carbon and custom fabric installation?
Interesting what project are you working on?
@@PavelGarmas This will be my first attempt at doing any carbon fiber, so I am suing that web lock stuff so I don't mess it up. I am going to be skinning some part of my car, like side mirrors and hood vents
@@jingato very nice! Looking forwad to hear how you get on mate. Hopefully my tutorial will help. Check the other once as well mate...got a few tips in all of them. Good luck but if anything - contact me on pavsreview@yahoo.com if any questions. i will always help.
@@PavelGarmas Thanks!
Instead of polishing at the very end,i think you can add a layer of clearcoat and it would look better then just polishing it but i do like the way the deck cane out.
Hello George!
Thank you for watching and for the comment. I did think of clear coating but the supplier did mention that the clear coat could react with the resin and change the colour….I will try a small piece and see what will happen. It would of being easier than polishing that is for sure : )
Kind Regards.
suggestion before cutting carbon fiber placing thin painters tape on the edge/s and where you want to cut maintain edges from fraying and helps stabilize from moving around when taking the tape off start from the inside out carefully
Great tip! thank you.
A good detailed video, however it looks like the board needs a bit more flattening (sanding) and I always find applying 2K automotive lacquer gives a way better finish rather than polishing the epoxy. Lacquering also gives you the choice to have a gloss or matt finish.
Thank you. I have a few decks that i made and did use the lacquer on the last one. It is much shinier but does scratch easier. th-cam.com/video/vNX6lH7P2WI/w-d-xo.html
Hi mate. I want to ask U about the resin and hardener. if I wont to made a deck using a plywood and fiberglass cloth to skinning ,can I use this same product?
what is that in your cup before U add resin in there?
love your tutorials buddy :) that's why I try to made my own diy electric longboard :)
thank you for your time! cheers!
Hello mate!
Thank you for the comment and for the question. yes, you can use the same resin mixture as i am using for skinning process. I am using XCR resin - it is the best choice for a nice finish. You can use EL2 resin for making the deck and then XCR for a final couple of coats. There is nothing in the cup just resin 3 parts and hardener 1 part.
By the way, join me in my Eskateboard related Facebook group ESK8FREEDOM ; )
@@PavelGarmas i think it was a 10 grams of base coat - 6:55 sec. ;)
cheers mate for you time and help :) all the for U!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Very clear and informative, perhaps the most helpful video I have found for carbon fiber skinning a deck. You rock~!
Wow! What a lovely comment. Thank you so much!
I have made a few more .... take a look. One is specifically for the coloured carbon. Thanks again mate - means a lot.
Are you into electric skateboards? If so, join my Facebook group ESK8FREEDOM.
th-cam.com/video/a2PgMyWAMrM/w-d-xo.html
@@PavelGarmas I love Eskate and will def join your group! I have watched a number of your videos, especially after I got a Trampa Spur Gear Drive board. Your channel is very useful and informative, much gratitude :)
I just have one question: what did I do wrong if after sanding and polishing it looks dull? I followed as best as I could your instructions and the smoothness is perfect. It doesn't look "popping" like yours :/
@@AkiraSumida1 hi there! I would say it's the fine sanding and polishing....did you wet sand? How low did you go on the grit? What polishing compound did you use mate?
@@PavelGarmas Hi and thank you for the reply! I did wet sanding with 1000, 1500, and 2500 grit. I used Meguiar's brand clear coat safe polish. It improves a little bit after the polish, but still has a very matte finish look to it
@@AkiraSumida1
Very strange....one other option is to sand it down slightly ...dry...800 grit and lacquer it.
This is the best lacquer in the can...see the link. This is how i finished my other deck with ftit.
You're very good at teaching and editing. Really thought the video was great. Maybe you could do a follow up series on a more complex one using a vacuum infusion method?
Hello!
Thank you so much for watching and for a lovely comment. Does mean a lot. I will definitely make another video when I make a new deck. The vacuum infusion method is good but more tools are required and this is why I have chosen the hand laying for the first deck. Thanks again and stick around.
this is the best skinning video ever thanks man
Andrew! Thank you so much ; )
I have made another two using blue carbon and also a custom printed fabric...available on my channel if interested. Thanks again.
I watched lots of videos about carbon fiber skinning yours is great. You explained everything. I try to make carbon fiber skinning I want to know that the first coat before the carbon fiber paste is different than second coat or they are same. I bought epoxy with hurdner and I applied it and waited about 2 hours but my carbon fiber didn’t paste well. Is the two hours shirt or enough for to paste carbon fiber on it. And are there differents brands of epoxyies. Thanks.
Hi,
Thank you very much for watching and for the lovely comment.
There are different types of resin on the market. The best one to use is EL2 or XTR. There are different hardeners as well - normal and fast. Two hours should be enough for the coat to get to the " sticky but not runny " stage. Did you mix it correctly? What is the ratio on the cans?
Pavel Garmas Ratio on the cans is 2-1. I measured it with sensitive scales. I will buy new epoxy adhesive. I ordered it. If I have any problems I will ask you again. Thanks for your answer.
Excellent video. Very good tutorial. How did you know the amount of resin to mix for your project? I understand the ratios. Did you measure the surface area of the board and then calculate? I have a small project that is 36" long and 2" wide. Just trying to get the total amount right so I don't waste resin. Thanks!
Hi Larry,
Thank you for a lovely comment and for the question. There is no true way to measure the quantity required... it all depends on the surface type and the step you are doing. So the first coat to soak / fix the carbon will take more resin than any other coat, the final coat takes the least. I have done a few skateboard decks 1070 mm by 250 mm and it normally takes 30 gram of mixture for one coat ( 21 resin + 7 hardener ) so hopefully this is what you could take s a sample.
@@PavelGarmas Thank you! Since my project is so small I will only need around 4 grams based on your specs. It's a good place to start. Much appreciated.
Great video! Very helpful! I got my material now and started today making first experiences.
Thank you ! So nice to hear that my work pays off and I am able to help.
Please keep me updated,
Thank you.
it was a very good work. I started as a hobby too. Can you tell us what brand you applied for the last shine you used? Thank you
Hi,
I have used the same resin as the final coat - XCR and then wet sand it it plus buffed it out.
@@PavelGarmas Thanks for your answer, but my question is, I ask you the name of the product you used and polish last for the shine.
Awesome vid man, I really like the dropped deck look on eboards, which is always a bit more tricky when doing DIY. and this guide is invaluable for when I when do my own build.
thanks man!
Tiaan,
Thank you for your time watching the video and for the nice comment. I do really hope that this tutorial will help you to make your perfect deck,
I got all the video on how to make and cut the deck if you are interested.
@@PavelGarmas yeah man, I saw, i watch all of your vids ;)
great video! is it possible if you can add a list of all the specific products you used?
Hey mate,
Thank you very much for a nice comment. I do have two more videos on the carbon and fabric skinning and do explain what is required material wise...have you seen them?
For carbon fiber skinning you will need : XCR base coat, XCR resin, XCR hardener, 11/2" brushes, mixing cups, mixing sticks, carbon fiber material , sand paper ( dry and wet type ). I would recommend 400,800,1500 and 2000 grid.
Hope this helps.
Pavel Garmas thank you a ton! Seen a few carbon fiber videos but yours was very informative! Inspired me to try it with my interior panels for my bmw e46! Hope it goes well
@@estebancuevas5255
Glad to hear!
Do not hesitate to contact me and ask any questions mate.
Facebook, Instagram or email : pavsreview@yahoo.com
Ensure to use the correct resin mate.
Hello sir. Loving your tutorial videos. Very informative. Just one quick question. Care to share how do you clean the brushes from the epoxy resin & hardener?
Hello buddy!
Thank you for the comment. By the way, I have just uploaded two new videos on a coloured carbon fibre skinning - take a look ; ) th-cam.com/video/a2PgMyWAMrM/w-d-xo.html
Regarding the brushes - I do throw away a brush and a cup every time I do a coat unfortunately however there was a comment on my new video that it is possible to wrap up the brush very tightly an put in in the refrigerator at - 20 degree and evidently that stops it from getting dry,
Hope this helps.
Amazing tutorial. Can you post a link of where you purchased the carbon and resin
Hello!
Thank you for watching my video and thank you for the nice comment!
Link for the company that i got all the materials from as requested : www.easycomposites.co.uk/#!/fabric-and-reinforcement/carbon-fibre-reinforcement
Stick around and ride safely buddy!
Hey boss! I saw on another video if you put down painter tape before you cut the material it helps to keep it from fraying! Definitely looks like that’s one of the hardest parts of working with this stuff
Thank you for the comment!
I did find that the tape does disturb the pattern to be honest. There are different tricks that people do use but all depends on the individual and what they used to do I guess. This was my first time doing it and I am quite happy with the results,
Thanks again and stick around buddy!
@@PavelGarmas sure thing man, honestly you seem like a really humble and insightful dude thanks for making these videos!
Thank you kindly!
Exelent job on the carbon fiber deck pav
Thank you very much!
Will be doing it again next week but will use the clear coat instead of an extra layer of resin..... it will be blue / black ;)
Iv just started doing this. I got my carbon fibre weave delivery and was all folded and see pulled areas so Iv tried pulling it straight and line up again.
You can do it on the large glass table....slowly work it straight....
@@PavelGarmas help got polyester resin did 50mm base to 1 ml. For my base coat say wait 1 1-2 to tack then lay my carbon. But it went off Now see says 20/25 mins tack time on the site So if I do that will the second and third coat be the same time I say yes not the 1 1/2 hours normally
Hey Pavel, do you remember what was the thickness of the carbon fiber cloth?
Hi mate. Carbon fibre is measured in weight not thickness I do not remember now unfortunately but i am sure i do mention the materials spec in the video.
Iv sent few pictures any help be great Think with the splitter ends to do them separate
Thanks for this video Pavel 👍
I've always wanted to know how to do this properly.
This will come in handy for my car I've had issues with my boot.
I've been using flex tape to make my board stronger BTW don't laugh...
Once again great video m8 👍
Thank you kindly! It is actually not that hard but time consuming. Let me know if you decide to cover the boot : ) would be interesting to know how it comes out.
@@PavelGarmas it's already carbon fibre it just has oxidisation marks and air bubbles on it...
I've temporary covered it with a gloss vinyl wrap to match the car for now because it was an eyesore.
I had got as far as sanding down the gloss finish but it started raining and I don't have a garage so Im gonna wait till summer when I have more time and can rely on the weather.
Will keep you updated and thanks again👍
The XCR resin will be your best bet! Good luck buddy.
@@PavelGarmas thanks m8
Nice job holmes!!!
Thank you very much!
I have since made another 2 videos on CF skinning, take a look.
Great video, very informative, thank you for sharing 👍
you use any type of dust filtering machine?
Hi mate. I should be but i am not doing this a lot... just a hobby. I do use a high quality respirator and clean the area up after.
Do you think putting tape on the bottom (when doing the top for example) might help avoid drops, etc?
I was thinking that but I think the tape will get stuck down so badly that you will have to send down anyway....it is quite easy to sand it so no problem : )
@@PavelGarmas ah yes, that actually makes sense. and easier to sand out some bad spots than trying to get the tape out. good thinking
Thanks for the video awesome job looks beautiful!!!
Thank you kindly! Glad that you liked it mate.
Has anyone decided to follow this method? Let me know if you have any further questions and I will cover in an additional video.
i will follow your tutorial to make mine carbon fiber side mirror cover .
Hello , do i need to apply a clear coat for car parts ? Or only polishing it ?
Hi,
Thank you for watching and for the question. it is entirely up to you. XCR resin does not need clear coat for UV protection so you can just leave it polished. Some people do like to use the clear coat to give the finish higher level of shine but you should use 2k clear coat as a minimum and apply with a spray gun in order to get a good result using the clear coat. The finished deck in the video is just a polished resin. i do still have it and there no problems after a year.
Hope this helps.
Very good video
Hi!
Thank you for your time watching this video and for your nice comment,
I hope the video did have all the information that you were after. I got quite a few videos on my channel so feel free to take a look : )
Thanks again and stick around.
i really like the way you explained,im newbie to learn how to skinning carbon fiber,i already fail 3 time 😭
Thank you very much!
I do have two new videos about the process now so take a look and if any issues - join me in my facebook group ESK8FREEDOM , it is a skateboard group but it is for my viewers and subscribers so all good.
Also recommend laying down a strip of tape where you cut, and cutting through the tape, it will help prevent fraying at the edges. Nice work though
Believe it or not - this was the first time I done it : )
Came out really good actually and I do still use the deck - all good !
Thanks again mate.
Great video, you did a much better job than me, but also recommend thin masking tape first then cut the tape in half. Apart from preventing the CF from fraying I've found it helps stop fine fibres from being released in the air.
A mask when handling the CF will help prevent a nasty cough caused by the CF fibres in the air.
Edit, I just finished watching the whole video and I have to admit your finish is much better than mine was. I'm not sure if I used the wrong resin or wasn't careful enough with cleaning or maybe got the method wrong but well done. Top tip for anyone reading this is do not buy cheap sand paper, get it from a professional car paint shop or similar professional supplier. Cheap sand paper or the rubbish from Halfords will ruin your finish as I discovered when painting my car.
Wow superb wark
Thanks a lot 😊
Good vid man.. maybe we should get you to cover the HIU covers in CF
Haha!
Good idea mate ; )
This is the exact process that you can use to carbon skin some of your M3 interior panels ! Would make it awesome looking mate : )
Give it a try!
Great tutorial Pavel !
Thank you very much. I hope it did help : )
What did you carbon skin if you do not mind me asking?
@@PavelGarmas Of course, you're welcome. I am planning on making my eskate deck from start to finish so the cabone look and sturdiness is the way to go...that's for a new build but well if it takes up great my actual
deck may go through with it as well
Nice one mate! Did you see my videos on how my deck was born? Actually quite funny as well : )

th-cam.com/video/JK7KIOMgX4k/w-d-xo.html
Hi, im following your video but I think you missed the "how to get rid of the stickiness" part after you applied the final coating of the resin. Cause you need to sand it to apply a clear coat or the cutting substance. Cause mine is still sticky, its been 2 days already. How you can help me out. Thanka in advance.
Hi mate,
I have made a video and editing at the moment. The video will be out next Wednesday.
This is a really nice tutorial, but i can't get over the fact that you look like Jim Jefferies and Stew for UAVFutures :D
😆
Just googled it... cheers mate 👍
Hope it's a compliment ☺️
HELLO DEAR VIEWER! I DO HAVE A NEW VIDEO ABOUT CARBON SKINNING - TAKE A LOOK : th-cam.com/video/a2PgMyWAMrM/w-d-xo.html
What state are you located in?
I really would look to get this done on my dashboard for my car.
Im in California, know any shops that do this form of work?
Epic vid by the way.
Hello there!
Thank you for watching the video and for the comment. I am in London United Kingdom mate ; )
Not sure if there are any shops who do this in California but sure there will be.
Why don`t you try do do this yourself? Choose another small part or object that does have similar curves as your dash and practice- choose something that you will not feel bad if it is not 100%. Then move on to the dashboard. It will be much cheaper plus the feeling doing it yourself is unreal : )
I have never done this and the video was made during my first time : ) I did have to send the surface down couple of times but it was not that hard.
Let me know how you get on buddy and if any questions - just ask.
Be safe!
wouldn't been better if the deck was pure carbon without the wood?
Hi!
Thank you for watching and for the comment mate. It is a good idea I guess but what about the shape and the flex of the deck? carbon fiber is very hard and i would need to use multiple layers to make it strong enough to hold my weigh - there would be no flex on that deck i think.
Did you see the deck Jump test? Came out perfect.
Ride safely buddy !
I HAVE TESTED A 2K CLEAR COAT IN THE CAN FOR BOTH - FINAL COAT ON RESIN AND THE GLASS FRIT. TAKE A LOOK.
th-cam.com/video/vNX6lH7P2WI/w-d-xo.html
As per my other comment, awesome vid,
and like the slight shift in direction the camera is from.
but, and this is just might just be my preference, the camera being tilted is slight distracting in my opinion.
Not when focusing on the board, the tilt is fine then, its only distracting when on you.
Keep up the awesome vids man!
btw, if you keep the tilt consistent it would also be better, but the tilt changes all the time.
still a good vid though
Good tips mate! I do love when people comment on the videos especially with improvement tips,
Thank you and I will consider for my new videos.
Dear Sir, I have prepreged carbon fiber fabric how can I use it for skining
Hi,
Very good question. i have never done it myself because it does require special equipment. Prepregs are conventional reinforcements that been specially pre-impregnated with catalysed resin during manufacture. Because the resin has already been mixed with its hardener, prepreg carbon fibre needs to be stored at very low temperatures to prevent the resin from curing before the material is used.
Typical cure temperatures for prepregs range from 60°C up to around 180°C with the most common cure temperature for out-of-autoclave pre-pregs being around 100°C. There is a limitation on what materials you can apply it on due to the temperatures that are involved. i do use a hand laying technique on the electric skateboard parts.
Hope this helps.
For a video like this I recommend a respirator, and then for the audio do a voice over for the audio. Next time right?
Thank you very much for watching and commenting,
I do agree with you. In my defence, I did use the dust mask ….. had to take it off a couple of times when talking though.
Могу ошибаться,но мне показалось(Павел Гармаш) что ты русский:))

Buddy what is the base material of deck before skinning it?
Hi,
Thank you for asking. It 11 ply longboard deck deck that I did cut to suit. Take a look : th-cam.com/video/JK7KIOMgX4k/w-d-xo.html
@@PavelGarmas thanks for the answer man appreciate it!!
More carbon fiber skinning tutorials.
Hi,
k , will note this idea. I thought that video was not that popular and did not make any more.... I guess I was wrong.
Thank you for the comment.
Wait a minute:
@ 13:00 You attach first layer of carbon fabric on the wooden "form"
@ 17:00 You put first layer of resin on
@ 18:50 you show the board with excess fiber from the bottom and it has a perfectly luster carbon surface.
Where did the wooden board which served as a form go? And I assume you can´t make a board out of one layer of resin and carbon. Plus, you mentioned it always that it is the first layer.
Seems like they were many steps missing. Thought that I missed it but clicked several times through to check.
Besides that: Great Tutorial Video!
Hi!
Thank you for the comment mate! ok ...so...the deck is not a carbon fiber deck - it is a 12 ply deck that i did reshape to fit the AT wheels and the used the real carbon fiber skinning process too cover the top and the bottom of the deck. The reasons were to give it strength and the looks : ) I love the way the carbon fiber looks.
Video has all the steps its just the confusion was with the wooden form....it is not a form but the deck skeleton. The deck would be too hard with no flex if you do not have the plywood core.
Hope this helps.....below is a link to the video of how i customized / reshaped the deck :
th-cam.com/video/JK7KIOMgX4k/w-d-xo.html
Ride safely mate!
Pavel Garmas Ok thank you. Now I understand. I have actually a approximately 0,3 Inch thick Longboard wich is entirely made from Carbon. Rode it for the first time the past days and I have to say it is really exceptional. Purchased the low flex version because I am heavy. I is like a natural extension of my Legs. Never expected this. It is a 121c Afterburner.
But it is still amazing work you did there. Love your attention to detail and esthetics.
Thank you kindly.
Did you see the final product? The Beast?
People tend to forget carbon fiber is basically the same as fiberglass when it comes to skin irritant.
Do not, under any circumstances, power sand indoors unless you fully expect to completely coat your room with the material.
I'm now out $1100 after needing to re-carpet and repaint an indoor hobby room. Sometimes blindly following suggestions on TH-cam while not keeping common sense in mind can hurt.
I do work in my garage / workshop during the cold months but do most of the sanding down in the garden where i do wash all the surfaces down after sanding.
Not bad. Shouldn’t brush it like that you can ruin the fibers immediately. Dab it in for first coat.
Dude, use the mask when u working with carbon fiber
Hi,
I do! It was quite hard to talk with the mask on so it it what it is ; )
Stick around : )
That's the problem... I have all the tools ,but none of the patience you talk about...
Lol...
Maybe one day : )
Thank you for the comment and for watching the video !
@@PavelGarmas You do entertaining videos, happy to watch.
Thank you kindly! I do try : )
I don't recommend paper cups, the wax coating can cause fish eyes.
Hi mate,
Thank you for the tip. I did get the paper cups from the same company who sell the resin.... what would you say is the best mixing cup?
@@PavelGarmas polyethylene, you can flex them and remove residue after it hardens, and reuse the cups.
Where is the UV light protection? Normal Resin could turn into yellow under sunlight in few months..
Hi,
Resin that i am using does have the sun light protection, it does not turn yellow ..ever.
cool!
Thank you kindly. I have now tested the strength of a single layer of the carbon fiber and will upload video today....stay tuned.
@@PavelGarmas would be happy to watch that!
IT`s out : )
Thanks for the tips
Anytime!
Check out other videos buddy! There are some good once : )
Always attach the sanding tool to a vacuum. That carbon dust is a bitch!
Thank you for checking out my video mate! You are correct CF duct is not the nicest thing : )
Sounds like you got some experience with it....what did you use the CF on ?
@@PavelGarmas I did some carbon fiber work in my friend car shop. That dust is harmful. PS: I love your channel.
Got cha !
Thank you very much for the complement mate!
More videos to come ; )
lets see ya do a kickflip on that skate board
Nope...lol
Too old.
so you dont need to vacuum bag it i see everyone else vacuuming it.
Hi mate! No need to vacuum bag when using the method that i am showing in the video.
This is cool but why not just make a 100% carbon fiber board wouldn’t be hard
Polish and wax thst first layer build up the carbon fiber layers and pop the board out bam carbon fiber board
Then thete is no flex
Double weave
Always start laying from the middle people!
Very correct! Thanks mate.
Lol pav u could have just used Google to set a timer
Missing the respirator...
Very good point mate.
But 😮 THERE'S NO DISCRETION 😮
Isnt it on the grip tape side???lmao!!
Hi there,
What is?
You put carbon where the grip tape goes?
It will be hidden by the grip tape?
@@upnorthviking823 ahhh i see... no it is not mate. I have made a custom cut grip for it. Take a look .... got videos all about it.
@@PavelGarmas ohhhh i see!!good job!!i was thinking it would be covered by the grip!awesome!sorry for laughing to early lol
@@upnorthviking823 all good mate 👍 have you seen the "beast on the leash video?
There are still drips along the edges.
I am not sure why he didn't start on the top. I am not sure why he is polishing the part of the deck he is going to cover with tape.
I am still going to try carbon fiber skinning, but I thought any idiot can do it.
I would not be calling everyone an idiot...
The reason for polishing the top is to get a perfect finish regardless if you cover it up or not plus i have used a custom cut grip tape and a lot of the carbon was still on the show.
Drips were sanded off after and the edgrs came out perfectly. Still got the deck at it is performing well.
Build safely.
🤔💬it’s true but It’s bride cloth Vs the world guys yikes
