:l i think you shouldnt have had wetsanded it... i think the resin was shiny and nice??.... ehh still debating to carbon fibre "Wrap" a longboard or make a foamcore...
LOL...Im back again...First, sorry for bothering you so much. Now to my questions. 1. Why didn't you sand off all of the graphic? 2. I saw a video on a custom carbon fiber-ed fsm and they bondo (like some filler stuff) the those speed cut outs or what ever they're called( like where the nose/tail meets the actual board theres those cut out parts) and my last is, have you curbed the board yet? If so did the carbon fiber start to peel?
@IamTeHe 1. I the graphic was impregnated into the wood. I was only sanding off the clear coat layer to get to the wood so that the epoxy bonds better with the board. 2. I think ur talking about the wheel wells. I was initially not planning on CFing that section and instead, just cut the cloth off showing the wheel wells, but after laying down the CF, i realized it looked good and decided to keep it. 3. I've curbed the board many times and have also done a lot of flip tricks. No delam at all
@effghan Hey there, I was just wondering what all the advantages are to adding a layer of carbon fiber to the bottom of a board. Does it make it stronger? And would you recommend I do this to a normal skateboard instead of a longboard?
@MechWarrior324 Hi. The advantage of the carbon fibre is to make it stronger and stiffer. Because of the longer wheelbase and also where the feet are placed on a longboard, the board tends to flex a bit compared to a regular skateboard. The main reason why i CF my board was because I've had 3 friends that snapped their comet boards from doing tricks. I wouldn't recommend CFing a regular skateboard because it does make your board heavier. You want a light board for doing flip tricks and stuff.
@effghan Thanks man, I might not add carbon fiber to my board then. But I am going to be building a longboard one of these days, and I think I might go ahead and add carbon fiber to it, since I won't be using it for tricks.
im thinking of doing this for my friends mini maestro (due to the fact that he is 200+) pounds. will it hold him well if i do one layer on top and one on the bottom? please reply
@effghan Im planning on trying to fiberglass or carbon fiber a landyachtz time machine. It has 10 plys and its already pretty stiff. Im guessing youve ridden the board after its been carbon fibered so when its scratched does it look ugly?
@IamTeHe If your reason for glassing your board is just for looks, i'm sure you won't be scratching your board up much... I cf my board solely for performance purposes. I shred the hell out of it so the bottom is full of white scratches which is pretty ugly, but it's a tough mofo.
I deisagee. Carbon is better at tensile stress and flexural strenght. But it is a friendly comment, I dont wanna start a regular good old comment fight :) Maybe you have right, but as I know, it works like this.
What do you think, how much layer of carbon would be enough, if I would like to make one bord, just by composit materials, like glass, carbon, basalt and sandwich?
@kolbaszok it depends of the fiber your using but I can tell you that 2 layers of triaxial carbonfiber in sandwich is more than enough. It will give a nice flex and torsionnal rigity to you board! But hey, try your own receipe, it's fun and you'll find the right amount of flex you want! P.s. for your project of a home made board a good mix is 6 plys of maple in between 2 layers on carbonfiber, rigid yet flexible, light and solid! Have fun Hope I helped you ;)
@Sharpie426 If you compare CF and wood by weight, CF is stronger, but epoxy is still heavy and if you just add CF and epoxy to a board without taking off any wood, then you are still adding on a lot of weight. When comparing my carbon fibered fsmini to a full size board such as a vendetta, the vendetta is still lighter. The point of me CFing my fsmini was to make it as stiff as possible regardless of the added weight. 925 will require more CF than the fsmini.
@Sharpie426 im pretty sure its the fiberglass thats light on boards, and a lot of "carbon" decks have carbon stringers in them, so one layer isn't completely carbon. and decks with carbon and fiberglass are usually pretty thin too
@Sharpie426 keep it mind making your 9two5 stiffer (which is pointless because its already very stiff) wont make it better for dh...just heavier and slightly stiffer (even though you wont be able to tell the difference)
@gerbear3 I can't remember the exact amount of epoxy i used. I think around 100g per layer. I used the blade for picking out bristles that came off the brush. I used really cheap brushes.
dude this is extremely sick, i want to do this with a board but i have no idea what this stuff costs or how to do it so i would greatly appreciate it if you sent me an inbox message or made me a video or something showing/telling me where to get this stuff, a long story short way of how to do this, if u do that... i owe you one, because that would be awesome because i have a small board that i would really like to make stronger because, even though im only 5'5'' 115, i still fear it may break
I have a question, I know what carbon fiber does because I've done fiber glassing and know it makes it stiffer and stronger... But what was the point of making a free ride compact deck stiffer? Are you using it as a dh deck??? But great video man, I wish I could edit videos this good :)
@themichaelnuckles Thanks dude. I use this deck more for tricking. I carbon fibered it so that it can take the abuse. Comet decks are not known to be strong. I've seen a few cracked ones. I also hate flex and this deck had a small amount of it. Hope this answers your question. Cheers.
Very cool man, i have a homemade board much like the fsm. i was wondering if you got instructions online, or where i could find them because i want to do the same thing.
@vlatko1 Comet boards are not strong in my opinion. For the fsm and fsmini, the trucks are situated farther up the neck than most drop thru boards. There's a bit of flex in the fsmini and i wanted absolutely no flex. I also do a lot of flip tricks and early grabs on this board.
@JEORGEGREEK I dunno what micro sanding is. It's known as wet sanding to me. Zombies has icy smooth slides. It's probably one of the slidiest wheels i've ever ridden. It also has very little urethane, so it doesn't last as long as other freeride wheels. I personally prefer abec11 classic freerides. They slide really well and still give you a good amount of control.
@LLAPZable Depends on the bushings you use and the tightness of your trucks. I'm using purple venom barrel / purple sabre barrels all round with the trucks as loose as possible without the washers rattling. No bites
How is the FSMini? I'm looking for kind of a commuting board that's fairly small. I want something that cruises easily and hugs my feet really well. How does it handle pumping and carving? And can it handle speeds up to around 35 or maybe 40 MPH? I'm 5' 9 and around 135 pounds.
@chloegoesboom13 i say dont go with loaded boards. the arent that great, and the price tag isnt worth it. ive got a dervish and its just a dead ride. get a vendetta if you want to do tricks and stuff. its also hella light. the fsm is also a great choice. and the new sector 9 super shaka is surprisingly fun and its pretty good quality.. and its only like 70 bucks for the deck.
@chloegoesboom13 Both are good boards and will fit your size perfectly. The Tantien is slightly more flexy but is still pretty stiff compared to other loaded boards. If you're after quality, go with the Tantien. If you're after a board that feels great to stand on, go with the fsmini. Fsmini locks your feet in like no other.
@chloegoesboom13 It's a great little board. If you're looking for a board that is easy to carry around and still be able to do slides and tricks with it, this is the board. Get the regular fsm if you don't care about size and weight.
you really could've given it a much better finish, didn't look that nice, would've left the weave showing personally and built up a load of clear coat for a glassy smooth finish
@Hhmmmmmmmmmm I really didn't care about how it looks. It does the job which is to make my board super stiff. Right now it's so scratched up it'll probably make you cry. This is the first carbon fibering job i've ever done anyways.
@fbrookebanner I skate with effghan and i thought i'd let you know that he is unable to access youtube for about 3 months because he's away on holiday.
@blazzin3287 You're adding on weight, not taking off. If you want to make your board lighter, you cut a big hole in the board and fill it with foam. Only then do you sandwich it with carbon fibre.
dudddde thats so sic. i myself have an insect lightning bug which is also carbon fibered. i didnt know you could do it yourself though!!! i want a carbon fiber fsmini so bad. ahh, i can only dream about it...
@pdubs926 I didn't take off any wood at all. I added carbon fiber to increase the strength of the board. Comet boards aren't that strong and i'm 90kg.
@effghan ahh ok so the sanding was just so the the resen sticks in stuff? i thought coments were good boards though i thought they were strong for dh and freerideing well guess im wrong good job though
@pdubs926 Comet uses "environmentally friendly" glue and paint on their boards which aren't as strong as the unfriendly kind. I've got 2 friends that have snapped their FSMs. One of them also had to reinforce his voodoo with fibreglass because it was starting to weaken.
@effghan well i guess im not getting the voodoo like i wanted
i was gonna get it but not anymore ill get an avenger or something idk i wanna nice topmount i have a demonseed its cool i als have a dervish so i kinda wanna top mount for my collection
@effghan two questions-are your layers all oriented in the same direction, and what did this do to the flex (does a mini flex? i got a full size monster, and i'd really rather it quit flexin.)
@hereforthechicks Yes my layers are oriented in the same direction. No flex whatsoever and i'm a heavy guy. Before the cf job, the fsmini flexed a little bit. The point of the cf was to kill the flex. It will make your board a lot heavier though... unless you cut a hole in your deck and fill it with foam before you wrap it in cf.

@effghan two questions-are your layers all oriented in the same direction, and what did this do to the flex (does a mini flex? i got a full size monster, and i'd really rather it quit flexin.)

@hereforthechicks Yes my layers are oriented in the same direction. No flex whatsoever and i'm a heavy guy. Before the cf job, the fsmini flexed a little bit. The point of the cf was to kill the flex. It will make your board a lot heavier though... unless you cut a hole in your deck and fill it with foam before you wrap it in cf.
