Just because you don't know/understand how something is done doesn't mean it's necessarily bs. I would use my energy trying to produce a better product rather than worrying about some promotional video. Warren Carbon Copies Ltd

Most steering wheels are made with a steel "wire/rod" core and some sort of cast hard rubber on top, sometimes the wheel rim is part of an alloy casting, that makes it a bit more tricky. If you remove the hard rubber, you can cut and reshape the steel rod /alloy, then use fibre-reinforced resin or hard rubber to cast a new thick "handle" on to the steel, using some form of mould. you can do this to only a part of the steering wheel, or the whole wheel, completely reshaping it. You could make a nicely surfaced "mould" and lay up CF directly.. "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW!

Group: Forum Members Posts: 592, Visits: 1.9K	yep ... really --- DO NOT HEAT ACETONE!!! ..... Not only is it EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, with a very low flash point (-20 C), it also has a very nasty tendency to create nearly perfect "flashovers" from one container to the next... + the fumes are explosive when in the right "fuel -air" mixture.

From a H&S view, we all know how dangerous the materials are we work with but in my opinion there is not point risking yourself or your workshop by heating an already very unstable liquid!!! Acetone flashpoint is something like -30deg C (from memory) so it's just waiting to go up. I ask the question, would you heat petrol?.... no, so why heat acetone! Hanaldo (29/09/2014) Would be interested to see what they say about heating Acetone though, that sounds intriguing...

The process itself is adding weight, so what's an extra 100 grams of resin if it gives you a better finish?
