URGENT HELP with Fabrication
Hi,
This is not really related to my RC hobby but i have a question, I have this project that i want to cover with carbon fibre. Is it possible to cover a flat piece of wood with Ultracote? IF so how can i do it? if i can't, what materials would you recommend for me to achieve this look (materials must be able to be purchased at a local hobby store)?
Thanks a lot!

What is it you are trying to achieve, an actual carbon reinforced structure? Or, just the "Look" of a carbon structure.
