[@robolop]

It looks pretty thick. Can you tell us how thick this is and how many layers you used? Great job. I love your videos.

[@MatthieuLibeert]

its about 1,8mm thick and is 3 layers of 650g/m² twill weave :) hope this answers your questions ;)

[@polaraligned1]

Thank you.

[@Derbipowah]

hoe grof schuur je ze na met sop? op @10:49

[@gafrers]

Awesome video. So inspiring to improve my composites work. If you had to have holes for air-flow. Would you drill it in the CF part before Clear-coat or "mold them" by drilling the original part before creating the mold?

[@MatthieuLibeert]

would cut them at the end then clearcoat! glad to hear you liked the video :) good luck!

[@gafrers]

Ty very much for your answer.

Thanks for another great video! What kind of cutterwheel are you using? Sold at EasyComposites?

[@MatthieuLibeert]

thanks a lot! Perma-Grit 32mm Disc with Arbor is sold by Easycomposites, might be you can find it somewhere else as well :)

Sorry, I mean the hand held one you use on the dry fabric. Not sure what it's called.

[@MatthieuLibeert]

I call it a pizza cutter :p bought it on R-g.de

[@foulafaya]

Really beautiful carbon part :) Amazing :DBut I have a question, what about the side of the stand ?? you put gelcoat to avoid hurt someone ?

[@marfstyle]

You dont need to temper it ?

[@iSijt]

Hoe heet het flute board in het Nederlands? Is dat bij een bouwmarkt te halen?

[@MrUltralove]

looks really nice, whats your laptop by the way?

[@MatthieuLibeert]

Thanks! Laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon! its a beast!

[@mohdxb86]

Can you make a video of how to start a composites buissnes 😁 that will be very helpfull ❤️

[@wirefist]

Even though you are making a laptop stand, Do you have any idea what carbon fibre cloth would be good for making car parts?

[@MatthieuLibeert]

depends on many factors so hard to tell... you have many options available and could all be suitable for car parts

[@wirefist]

Thank you, Im trying to get a answer before i waste my money Lmao

[@MatthieuLibeert]

depends on what parts you want to make and if they have to be structural or not :)

[@jonathan643]

Dag Matthieu, uw YT kanaal is echt top! Ik heb een vraag over de stickers op uw projecten, print jij deze ook zelf of laat jij die maken? Heb je hier wat meer info over? Alvast bedankt! Do zo voort!

[@junyoung458]

Hello! I am a student interested in CFRP. I'd like to know if it'll be profitable to make these carbon fiber products if you were to sell them. Also how much does it cost you to make these products? I also watched your carbon fiber table video. Your videos are very interesting! 👍👍👍

[@DaveHojo]

What kind of wax did you use?

[@Hueauxil]

How resin is send inside am, unable to can u teach. The basic steps

[@MatthieuLibeert]

I have no idea what you mean... 'send inside am'?

[@BrytaPlanka]

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon and is in search for a Laptop Desk. Will Lenovo sell something like this? I didn't understand.

[@admr5817]

can you tell me about coupling coat? why it's needed?

[@MatthieuLibeert]

the coupling coat will prevent print through of the backing layers and create a good link inbetween the gelcoat and the tooling resin :) hope this gives you some more information. Otherwise check the Easy Composites website where you find more information under the product.

[@psevdonimkanala]

Thanks, very informative !!!

[@MatthieuLibeert]

glad you liked it!

[@MatthieuLibeert]

Perma-Grit 32mm Disc with Arbor

[@yuqiangli5809]

How to calculate the amount of epoxy resin ,thank you

[@MatthieuLibeert]

李玉强 a bit of experience I guess... It will be close to the weight of the fibers together in the mould

[@simonac688.]

I wonder how much this all cost 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@MatthieuLibeert]

Pretty expensive indeed

[@ArtIsLife3]

keep doing it I love your work soon I will start working with real carbon fiber now I work with 3m vinyl fake carbon fiber
