Hand-Laying Carbon Fiber Video
The interior is reinforced with carbon fiber. Carbon fiber wets out in the same manner as fiberglass, however it is harder to tell when you have done it right. Unlike 'glass which starts white and becomes clear upon saturation, CF is black and stays black. Since this boat is wood, enough epoxy must be applied to saturate the cloth and soak into the wood. The indications you have to work with are the color and reflectivity of the fabric and how it handles. For example if the cloth does not stay down or bubbles up the wood behind it is likely still dry. If the cloth is deep black with little reflectivity, it is likely under-saturated.

This series of videos shows the steps of building a wooden kayak using the "strip-planked" or "strip-built" method. This particular boat is a double paddle canoe design called the microBootlegger by Guillemot Kayaks. More information about the boat is available at http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com . Further information about the building techniques shown in these videos is available in the book "Building Strip-Planked Boats": http://building-strip-planked-boats.com/ For more videos in this series please visit: http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/guillemot/blog
ive never used a ...
ive never used a paint roller to put it on before its best to pure it on and move it around till it soaks in and then move it down to? the next dry spot,wow never seen it done like this,at lest i wont do it like this
hi i just want to ...
hi i just want to know where u got that full roll of carbon fiber cuz i have been seaching and all? i get is 4x2 roll and i want to make a hood and trunk and roof carbon fiber pliz contact me at jcaztec941@gmail.com ok thanks
What weight cloth ...
What weight cloth did you use and is this a twill that will form to curves easily?
I wonder if a? light coat of spray adhesive, like 3M77, on surface of boat would hold cloth in place while resin is applied. Adhesive would probably dissolve from chemicals in glue as its applied so it doesnt interfere with lamination.
Are you letting one ...
Are you letting one section of fabric harden before moving? on to surrounding areas?
nice music! i'd ...
nice music! i'd love to handlay Cf whilst listening to this!?

Had to stop watching because of the ? "music"......

You have the CB, now create the Trifoiler,? the worlds fastest commercial sailboat and set a new speed record!
I would and i will :)
Would have been a ...
Would have been a much easier job if? you had put a first layer of resin on the wood and let it dry to tack.

Ale papranie...? Niby carbon... ehh:/ Ani po?ysku to nie bedzie mie? ani ?adnie wygl?da?. Tandeta! Ju? lepiej trzeba by?o sobie zrobi? forme z w?ókna szklanego a potem zrobi? ca?o?? z carbonu a ten pajac ko?lawo g?aska i g?aska a i tak hujnia z tego bedzie :/ LIPA!!
Holy s**t, ...
Holy s**t, background music? to run away. I'm insane now!
Great video but I ...
Great video but I don't really understand why you used CF in this particular application. Since it's? not a high-performance boat why does it require this level of stiffness?
Very nice work. I ...
Very nice work. I have seen people put on a base coat first on the wood or? plastic to give the cf something to stick to. Just let it dry to a tack
I would have spread ...
I would have spread some epoxy? resin on the part before laying it up so that is easier to lay in the fabric and have it stay in place.

I'm happy to see you're wearing a respirator. Is it for protection against particulates or solvent? fumes (or both)?

That? was a huge roll of Carbon Fiber, how much was it?
I would have used ...
I would have used black fiberglass in this application and saved you about 30.00 linear yard in cost, the carbon fiber? is really only cosmetic in this application it seems?

Brilliant videos. I'm looking at giving a composite bicycle frame a go and videos like yours are very helpful / inspirational so thanks
On a different note, what's? the music?

Why would you use ...
Why would you use carbon with glass? it makes no sense, chalk and cheese, also if you wet the surface out before laying the cloth it will stop it dancing around and give far better saturation. Just? a thought...

What's the weight of that? fabric? It looked incredibly stiff.

do you notice any delamination between your carbon fiber layer and your glass or wood layers? ive wondered if carbon is? too brittle to laminate well over a more flexible material.
