Gauging interest for composite products.

[Littlestan]

Hey all!,

Suprra_girl - Sorry 'bout the confusion. I did notice you were from New Zealand,
just didn't click in the 'ol noggin. My bad!

Burn N' Up - Appreciate the kudos mon! I hope everyone will have an interest in
at least one type of thing I make. As for your Q's;

If your gonna fab in non fiber... say some kind of clear composite... i know alot of people who would gladly trade their mothers for a set of clear front clearance lights. Everyone has turn signals for sale but not those little clearance lights.

I CAN work with clear thermosetting plastics, but as the cost in making a mold
and investing in the few different pieces of equipment such as a oven and
heat-resistant materials outweighs normal temperature composites,
I would need a group buy interest list of about 15 people. Sorry to sound like a
defeatist!

Can you do interior colors? Its very difficult to get any interior pieces in anything but black, you'd make a killing on OEM color interior parts.

I can definitely do interior colors! Fiberglass is the easy one to do, while
carbon fiber and kevlar come in different material colors. If anyone did happen
to want a carbon fiber or kevlar part a completely solid color I could do that
as well, though I personally think that defeats the visual impact of it.

Carbon fiber center console?

Yes! This one will be a difficult one to do as there are many different
attatchments on the back to fabricate in, but it would be fun to design. I
believe there's a person named "tte" in the misc. vendors section on
www.supramania.com that is making them at the moment, so I would go to
him first. I will talk to him soon and ask if he would mind me making them up
here in Canada as he lives in California.

Thanks for the questions guys! Not much to report on the shop atm,
though I did manage to epoxy coat the tables in the Clean Room.
$150 later...

Have a good one guys,
