Carbon Fiber Skinning a 3D printed sim racing wheel!

In episode #5, it's time to skin the wheel in carbon fiber and epoxy resin! Contrary to what you might think, it's really a simple and inexpensive process but be fiddly and can take some time so you can't rush it. First I reassemble and join the two printed wheel parts with epoxy glue, then we'll mix up the resin and do a single coat and wait until it's tacky to the touch. The carbon fiber sheet then gets laid on top followed by several coats of resin with a few hours of drying time in between each coat. Finally, the parts are sanded and coated again.
