yeah he is right pretty much same as fiberglass, main difference is you use epoxy resin instead of pollyester resin, (clear vs. odd brown color) but yeah just create a mold and then you need a releaser on the mold (vasalene, pam, etc) then resin then lay your carbon more resin carbon resin carbon etc. let it dry pull it out of the mold then wet sand and one more coat of resin on the outside or clear coat if you are in a hurry, stuff turn out pretty good just doesnt look like the expensive carbon cuz i dont have a vacume sealer so there are a few bubbles, which normally come out in the wet sand
