You know that it's all in the tooling - good moulds and the right equipment and the splodging part with enough mess any fucktard can do. Why not? If it's done right there's nothing wrong with it. And their kitchen up at easy composites is a pretty switched on setup. Most of the commercial parts in that horrible chopped carbon finish are done the same way just on a bigger scale. Upscale it and you essentially have SMC carbon manufacturing. If you were to take that and do a final vac process on it after about 30 minutes it'll get a full degass as well as the pressure. Lets face it, most people are happy to have really shit parts and bang on about how 'quality' they are just because they're bullshitted in laquer. I wouldn't knock easy composites. their videos are informative and pretty good in helping laymen get their heads around all this sort of stuff. Oh I’d happily rely on something someone competent has knocked up. Just not me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
