Hybrid Carbon

[hink320]

I was asked to start a thread about the custom hybrid carbon I used in the current Trixstar hull I'm laying up. It's a carbon/dyed fiberglass hybrid. The hybrid carbon is used strictly for aesthetic purposes, the rest of the layup is full carbon.

Here are some pics:

This is the dry fabric beside a typical carbon fabric for comparison

Here it is infused:

A couple more:

I wanted to do something a little different to show what kind of customization can be done and I think it turned out pretty good. There are some pretty amazing new hybrid fabrics that are available now, if you check out www.compositeenvisions.com you can check it out for yourself. The Reflections and Mirage line are pretty amazing in the Raw fabrics section. I ordered some samples of them to check them out in person.

Looks good. Whats the white stuff in the red on the back area of the hood?
Maybe just reflections.

Just reflections. No white stuff in the second pic of the hood from the different angle.

Took a pic with a better camera, no 'white stuff'

Ok, we see you can make they with an awesome finish. I expect fit to be above standard as well. Time to get someone on it to rip it up and show what the hull is capable of. There are some impressive vids from the German builder, time for some new ones. Get out there and break some ice off the lake lol

Quick question, what epoxy resin system do you use for all your work?
