How to make a Carbon Fibre parts, Windshield.

I made a detailed video on the process of making a carbon fibre windshield. This windshield is for my snowmobile but the same process can be used for any carbon fibre parts or motorcycle windshield etc. Just make sure it isn't a windshield that you have to see through - because you can't see through carbon fibre:)

THere's just one thing I'd like to know, usually when you see people making CF pars they do it in multiple layers, one by one. You seem to have done it with one layer, or did you just put on all the layers at once and saturated them with resin?

I enjoyed the video, good job and have fun on the snow!

@Sebastijanovski i only did one layer because the windshield is just for show - and want it light.

@MissedByAge really depends on the quality of carbon fiber you want certain grades are only like 50 bucks per square yard and Unidirectional ones can even be as heap as 30 buck per square yard. But the high grades used for racing wheels or anything that requires a heavy workload and lightweight qualities can cost up to 300 bucks per square yard. When I got mine I got it from "fibreglast" a tad expensive, but a decent product. Just google it.

@lshobie ok thank you :) good job btw

@AdighaSreqwash the only way it can really shine is if the finish is good to begin with - you can buff and polish but it only goes so far.
