If you want to think that but this statement you made is 100% false. Carbon fiber has absolutely no relationship to fiberglass. They are not the same. There maybe different processes to make CF cause there's different weaves but in the end its CF which is made from different material than fiberglass

To make a cf part u need the black dye and fiberglass kit and a mold to copy from. The places that make the parts spray the mold with resin then add the cloth then they spray the riped mat and resin mix to make it thick.
That is how they make cf.

If Carbon Fiber is the same as fiberglass than Titanium is the exact same thing as copper. Your comparing apples to oranges. True carbon fiber is a cloth and fiberglass comes in a cloth but thats the only thing the same. They are both different materials and carbon weaves are alot different than fiberglass.


Again, they are not the same

What is the boat making company your friend works at, so I can be sure to not buy any product that they make, fiberglass, "carbon fiber" or anything else for that matter. They may make something that is carbon fiber look, but it's NOT carbon fiber.

Whitey, not sure if you or anybody else that responded has seen or used a liquid plexi, but it is another alternative to carbon fiber apoxy or resin. Select products sells it. It is pretty cool, you use the liquid plexi in the same manner that you use the resin, but to make a long story short, when it is done you can polish it up to a high shine. I have seen a demo on it and it was really slick. Anyway, they have the products and how to video's available at www.selectproducts.com

That is the dumbest thing I have heard in a while. You need to go sit alone and think about what you said.

What you should say is, "that is how they make black fiberglass"
