Hi everyone,

I'm new here and i don't know if anyone had already tried to do something like that.

I would know wich is the best way to skinning a bottle with carbon fiber, if it's a good idea to use vacuum pump or not.

I'm open to all suggestions!!
Thanks Wink

I wouldn't use vacuum if I were doing it, I'd use shrink wrap. Might not even need that though, if you just follow the regular skinning instructions in EC's latest skinning tutorial then a bottle shouldn't be so complex that you need anything more than the tack of the resin to hold the fabric in place.

The biggest problem for me is where you need to join carbon. 
Maybe the pic is more exhaustive:
the red line is the carbon layer, the arrow is where i have problem, in that point the carbon wouldn't stay attached to the bottle.

how i can solve this?
