Carbon Fiber

Quick mention , and that is .......................my trained ..Monkey does most of my laminating.............LOL ! Just a joke .......OK .

 

Are you making fun of my trained monkey? Look I paid a lot of money for this fellow and he's sucking me dry with his, often frivolous "needs" and of course the training, the many years of training. Don't be making fun of my monkey. I'm the only one allowed to spank my monkey, though the better half does have some privileges as well.

 

Enough for me, gone.

 

Good one LOL...Ha Ha Ha ....

 

Thanks for the Ideas and the links as well. Looks like there's more one way to reskin a cat....Hahaha

loads of different styles, materials and techniques.

 

Just a quick mention view this Vid because it ................... just might change your whole out-look on using a Vinyl wrap which is something i use on side x sides to spruce up a machine . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvkyrPLfDQk

 

Great video - I was holding my breath as he ran the scalpel around the edge of the roof gutter - I wonder if they end up getting rust spots where he touches the metal, or if the blue paint starts to lift where he just goes through the clear top layer.

The heat treatment to get compound curves looks a good trick.

 

Whats this water transfer printing ?

Came across this by accident

I wonder how it will go in a marine environment ?



and a good explanation here

 

I been glued to youtube, since PAR suggested painting the CF look on.

I've even seen a carbon fiber water tranfer...sick

 

Be pretty hard to use this method for the marine industry given the share size of our parts.

 

Why couldn't the hydrographic be floated on a wetted down hull surface, then maybe a squirt bottle treatment to finish it off (hydrate it). Man, I'd love to have a printed carbon hull, the next time I show up at a race. It would scare the hell out of a lot of buddies. Sorry for the eye strain Tony . . .

 

Watson very cool $hit there .

 

Gotta tell yah ............that you really need to be a little more adventurous , and give it a try because if you screw it up it can always be fixed .

 

Hey Par how bout this one for race day

 

Looks like a West Australian Fisheries Boat.
