After all the laminates are applied and everything has dried, it’s time to reap the rewards of your work! Pop the carbon fiber panel off the glass mold. We needed to use a razor blade to “encourage” the carbon to come off the glass, but the panel came off without incident (this is why we applied five coats of mold release). The panel looks awesome, and it’s amazingly resilient and strong. We trimmed it with a sheetmetal shear, but it’s possible to cut these thin panels with scissors if you’re careful. Larger panels require a cutoff wheel or the like, but use respiratory protection and wear gloves because the dust is downright nasty. Don’t even think of grinding on your panel near open flames, because the airborne carbon dust will ignite! View Related Article
