Could you apply carbon fiber without the vacuum?

[connorrrules]

@monkeybob200 Yea, it just isn't as effective.

[SecondCityShredders]

where do you get the carbon fiber from?

[connorrrules]

@SecondCityShredders Ebay

[Hhmmmmmmmmmm]

ahh wheres the rest of the vid and finished product?? what vac bag system did u use?

[connorrrules]

@Hhmmmmmmmmmm Finished product is on silverfish, I used the roarockit vacuum bag but it's crap. I'd suggest getting a real vacuum bag if you plan on doing more in the future.

@connorrrules Roarockits tap bags are 20mil. The most you can find is 30mil and thats just strengthwise, 30 mil STARTS at $65 without shipping. i'd say the tap bag is good and lasts 20-30 boards maybe even more if you treat it with care.

@PERRONmedia

thanks, i used extruded polystyrene, and the foam pretty much stays by itself as long as you cut it precise enough, then the bondo helps keep it in place too. I'll have a full text tutorial on the fish soon, like today or tomorrow.

[PERRONmedia]

nice man, what kind of foam did you use? and I am guessing thats a switch or spud?

did you use wood glue or anything to keep the foam in place?
