codyb407 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 As mentioned, I'm Cody and I'm extremely new to all of this, but I'm OBSESSED with carbon fiber! I've been watching tons and tons of videos from wet method "skinning" to infusion methods using molds. I'm trying to take in as much information as I can before I place an order to give it a go on some interior parts from my vehicle. The first method I'm going to try is going to be wet "overlay' or "skinning", just to get a feel for using the material, and mixing and using epoxy as I've never worked with anything like that before. Eventually learn every method and pick what works best for me, and possibly make a little side gig out of it. (Friends & Family to begin with of course). I was going to order my first pieces of the puzzle off of amazon, as I want to start small. If anyone has any suggestions, tips, or pointers, they would be appreciated! Thanks, and happy Compositing! -Cody Ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kimball Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Welcome Cody! There a few topics here for you to look at. Start there first, then come back with some questions. Also, Rock West’s YouTube channel has some pretty good processes to look at. https://youtube.com/@RockWestComposites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as overlays or skinning, I've watched so many from so many different creators I couldn't tell you lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish someone had videos/classes + a project kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The videos are great but I need some hands on experience to really learn how to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
