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 (

This is the product used in the video. Is it the pattern you want to seal or do you want to make a mould? You will have to seal and polish your wood pattern and then produce the mould from that. People sometimes get pattern and mould mixed up. The pattern is an exact replica of the part you want to make, a mould is taken from that to produce the part. A picture of what you are working on will help.

Hi, not sure why the link doesn't work. The product is from Easy Composites and is on their website under Mould Making materials, it is the Epoxy Mould Making Kit.
A picture of the "mould" will help as I am still not sure if you are describing the "mould" or the "pattern". Either way if it has been CNC machined from wood then the grain will need sealing. Epoxy coating resin may be suitable but more information would help.

Don't know why your link bounced.
Pictures of the mould would greatly help avoid confusion.

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
