hello,
i am a new guy here and  at the world of carbons!i want to create a laptop base from carbon ( i need it and i found it easy for first try). my problem is which materials i need to use to create the surface that i need for to do resin infusion and how to use these. the mold that i have is from wood . i think the surface from this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VodfQcrXpxc ) is that i need. i tried to find the right kit to bought but i couldn't make it...

Hi, the green item in the video is the mould, this is used to make the final part. A pattern is what you take your mould from. Hope that makes things clearer.

you will have to 2K spraypaint your wood and do some sanding and bring it to a high gloss to seal your wooden mould...
Btw extra question for the other guys reading this, I'm I the only one who wouldnt like to have his laptop on a carbonfiber stand/table,...
carbon fiber is conductive and could cause some problems no? also problems with Wifi, bluetooth and so on I've read somewhere before
