The resulting pattern was awesome before you even painted it. The painting after was just a nice touch. I approve, and I'm certain that my 6 year old would also approve.
Hey man, i can't say much because I've never done this but one thing i do know about epoxy is it tends to heat up during the curing process. I think maybe what happened is the clear plastic sheet you put on first heated up and shrunk/wrinkled taking in epoxy with it and also causing those voids elsewhere. With the amount of resin you used i dont see it being a structural issue. But it looks really cool! Cheers man
I thought this was great. Awesome learning experience. Over here thinking what deck i want to try this with. I have some old street setups that it may be interesting to see if i can bring ine back to life with thia process.
Those wrinkles may have been caused by the rags you used to separate de carbon fiber from the plastic bag, as they were not perfectly flat it made the fiber copy those bumpy shapes. Also you have to spread each layer of epoxy with that credit card so you don't get air pockets
Formica is durable withstanding heavy impacts and unlike fiber glass and even carbon fiber isn't an irritant to the sensitive or for that matter anyone once it gets beat up and scratched.
Cool video! I like tinkering with projects like this, but I think you convinced me to not give this a go given how things can go wrong without more specialized equipment. Great video though, I enjoyed watching the process!
I would say carbon probably wasn't the best material for this job anyways. You can get heavy, Triax, fiberglass for about $3 a foot and it's gonna be much stiffer than carbon like that. Also to maximize torsional stiffness, you'll want a triax composite on the top and bottom of the deck; I would say having one layer on top and one on the bottom is much better than 2 on the bottom.
Toothbrush mixer went crazy

Great video, and the snafu art came out great. DIY isn't easy when you to purchase everything. Owning or having access to tools is key.

Yeah I tried this too last year and it was so bad haha
Thanks for putting this out there. Salute 🫡 for taking one for the team.
Sick cover up job!
Great video. Editing was very fun. U smashed on them cookies. Board looks cooler than the pre sand now.

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!
Cute Doggo 🧡
If it's still got too much torsional flex, you could also do the top too (diagonally this time)!
Take my work for it: my toeslides are fkn sick now
Super cool cool 🤙🤙🤙
