How to Make a Forged Carbon Fiber Table Top [DIY] (Forged Carbon Fiber Skinning)

[@thebigdustin]

I love the texture of "Forged" carbon fiber. It gives me an idea to do kitchen counter-tops using this method. It has a "Black Granite" quality about it. Looks cool!

[@Freedom_is_better_than_safety]

Pro tip for ya: When working with MDF, use a sanding sealer on all the surfaces. It’s cheap, and it doesn’t change its shape or properties, but it does “seal” it when pouring resins or epoxies or even painting it. It’s very easy to use, dries fast, and once keyed, provides the same adhesion as the raw MDF in my opinion. Love the channel!

[@ECOLAPStudio]

Hello, Buddy! Thank you very much for your advice. I'll try it the next time I work with MDF. I'm will make a fun and informative video. Stay tuned to my channel. Thank you.

[@ErtsenPlayGames]

@@ECOLAPStudio this "sealer" is just PVA ....in my opinion its waste of time if you aply thick resin / gelcoat and in the same time it is used as release agent for resin etc so.......

Guys ! The best channel about carbon fiber on KZbin is here!

[@ang9222]

I like the way you kick away the old table!

[@vocks85]

You should start using foam cores on some of your projects. In this case a foam wrapped table would weigh WAY less. Love your channel!

[@Lolatyou332]

This is what I've been planning on doing. Only problem is that it limits where you can screw it and you will also need to apply carbon fiber to the bottom of the table. You will have to create a mechanical lock or use glue to allow screws to be used.

[@vocks85]

@@Lolatyou332 could you drill holes in the bottom, fill with epoxy or carbon epoxy mix, and tap it? Or you could just drill holes and install rivnuts?

[@Lolatyou332]

@@vocks85 best case, you would install a metal nut that would be mechanically locked when the carbon fiber is hardened. Most feasible case is just to use rivet nuts as it would make a mechanical lock. The rivet nut becomes a potential failure point, but in reality, furniture really doesn't need that level of strength.

For anyone trying this, you can buy chopped carbon to save yourself a little bit of time. Very cool video.

@@agungwidjaya3778 Sorry for the late response. 5 months later and KZbin sends this alert. With forged carbon use whatever the cloth you want. If you want wide go wide. If you want narrow weave go narrow. With forged carbon its not the same as continuous weave. Its cosmetic not structural. Pick the cloth that has the look that you are trying to achieve. It will be light and look great, but dont count on it being any stronger than the epoxy bound with

colored carbon fiber has to be specially order because the color is mixed in the weave

[@jadekingofficial]

You can either buy coloured weave or tint the final clear coat

[@joebloggs4191]

I just watched this video for a second time and still that forged carbon fiber looks real good! One question regarding the finishing, on this video I see you sanded and then used a cutting compound to get the high gloss shine but I have seen in other videos after sanding people apply 2k clear lacquer. Question is which more durable and better for car interior pieces, sanding and then cutting and buffing the epoxy resin or sanding the then applying the 2k lacquer?

[@emmanuel4924]

I hope you can help me, is it necessary to use peel ply? Or could it be made without it, even if the finish was different? And if the epoxy gel coat is the same that people use when working fiberglass

[@803brando]

should do the initial layup in reverse on a piece of glass, would save time sanding, and the top would turn out laser flat.

Perfect job, man! Like your videos very much! Can you give us (your subscribers) advice, how to do cylindrical things such as vase, skittle or may be intake manifold pipe by using mold and without damaging original item. I know that we need to use at least 2 part fiberglass mold, but don’t know how to put pieces together.

[@ECOLAPStudio]

Hello, Buddy! Can you make the cylinder into styrofoam? If you can, skin carbon fiber made of styrofoam (requires multiple layers). And styrofoam can be removed with acetone. I hope helpful.

[@Super0Phantom]

It’s a good idea to use styrofoam. But what if we need to make complicated item which I can’t make out of styrofoam or may be if we need reusable mold?

I understand this isn't necessarily meant to be a structural item, but cutting the carbon fiber like that likely removes a lot of the strength characteristics that it contains.

Hello, Buddy! If you want matte carbon fiber, you can use matte clear spray after sanding. However, care must be taken to avoid pinholes when using it. because matte cannot be polished.
