600g finished weight including butpad
Well done. They take a few hours but worth the effort
Great job, looks the biz
Well done!
A few more pics before I add the build photos
original shaping and the added resin plugs for sling stud to later grab into. on my first few i didnt do this and had to make repairs later.
i bedded it initially and then again once id finished all the carbon wrap. on the next stock i just bedded it after full carbon. not yet sure what ill stick to.
That’s awesome mate, I love the matte finish!
yeah the spray matt lacquer finish gives a better grip too. it was too smooth prior. A kitchen maker guy has the spray gear and product so i go over then and use a bit. ive had one done at car painting place with a automobile clear coat but barbed wire fences still scratch it lol
This build i did the carbon in a few places as strips to give a better coverage and also allowing me to do it in stages was way less stress. trying to get it to sit right all in one go was a killer. and you see i tape it to get some compression, i dont have vaccume seal gear which would work better so kiwi ingenuity prevails.
Nice mate!
so i applied the carbon in 4 separate lays. and taped each one. then 2 layers of resin and a course sand. followed by 2 more coats and a smooth sand and then the mat lacquer in 3 coats to finish
Amazing job well done
