Next time you think it's carbon-fibre, you'd better double check...

You've discovered hydro dipping.

That's a clean dip, but it's easy enough to tell real CF. Most online retailers are honest about it. Maybe in the fine print, but it's there.

Is this how Ocean Gate made the Titan sub?

Gotta love the mask because it's dangerous to breathe in, but put your bare hands in, no problem. 😂

Got a mask on but not gloves! Interesting

Nobody is ordering real carbon fiber dash components, there are lighter plastic options that hold up well enough

To be honest, carbon fibre is overrated. There are modern plastic fibreglass equivalents that are x10 cheaper, with 98% of the advantages. If you build a whole car body, you would lose about 5-10kg to carbon fibre but be $30-60k better off.

No way that he should not be wearing gloves.

Pretty soon they're gonna make "carbon fiber" condoms with "Bluetooth"

If you think carbon fiber even looks like this you absolutely deserve the Chinese special. You probably think the racing stripes on your Datsun makes it go faster too, yeah?

Well he did a nice job for “ carbon fiber-like”. Not safely though. D.

……碳纤维产品会在材质一栏写明的，如果等级够高甚至会明确写出标号，如t400 t700 t1000

If it looks like shiny plastic, it’s fake. If it shines like individual strands of fiber, it’s real.

Always impressed by the steadiness of these guys dipping

that looks toxic af

Back before the industrial revolution, when mankind was still mostly an agricultural society, what did Asian scammers and theives do with their time??

talent!

What song is playing?

if youve ever seen carbon fibre you can tell its not printed you idiot lol

Yeah, No Kidding !!!

That’s when you realize it was definitely not carbon fibre

@Grok why is carbon fibro so rated and cost

Made in china

Fake

Cómo se logra esa técnica?

How you double check ?

Unless you are in a super car trying to beat a lap time there is no reason to have carbon fiber. Still, the dip looks good.

That gun tip need sorting

Double checking usually reveals a hydro-dipped plastic weave or a very ambitious sticker. If someone taps it with a coin and hears a dull thud instead of aerospace-grade hollow resonance, a quiet walk away is the standard protocol.

But its plastic
