    What if you wanted to make a super light weight camper / Toy hauler trailer? Would this be able to withstand the flex and vibration of going down the road or supporting a large side by side supported by 16" center supports? Does it dent if you drop something on it, or smash the product in? Does this insulate too better than plywood? What's the R-Value equivalent of it? Could you put lets say a 1" or maybe 2" piece of this down for the floor off an Enclosed cargo trailer and then spray a Line-X type of coating over it and park heavy side by side or any other kind of off road vehicles on it without it sagging or crushing under the weight? That's what really makes me interested in it.

    Several expedition vehicles have been made from these panels, R value is 3.3 per 1" of thickness in vertical position, and about 1 in horizontal position. Polyurea sticks great tho the fiberglass surface. Download the mechanical data sheet(laminated composite panels) from www.carbon-core.com, it lists several precalculated deflection values for different thicknesses.

Do you think this product would work for me as a sub floor in a shuttle bus? It would be exposed to the elements of the road as the bus is being driven down the road.

    What a coincidence that I need to rebuild the substrate on an outdoor stainless steel workbench that has a leaky patch on it. I did a web search thinking there must be a honeycomb plastic materiel I can use for this. Turns out Carbon Core is my neighbor here in Troy, VA. We're not on the map for much here, so this is almost serendipity. I certainly never thought I would find these products 5 miles from me. Unfortunately after learning about the products, extreme weather plywood would be more economical for my needs since weight is not an issue for me. I am excited that this is a local business to me though! We love our local businesses here in Virginia!

    @@timboWVU Shipping is outrageous. Over $200 for a $75 panel. But that would likely be the case for a sheet of plywood too. I imagine they have to crate this material or something to protect it. The gorillas that are the shipping industry can damage solid steel, let alone a sheet of honeycomb plastic. I had the company I work for look in to this material for substrate on outdoor stainless kitchen countertops. It would be a good alternative to exterior grade plywood. I dont know what the sample pack included that they ordered, but they wanted a sample of 3/4" thick. It would have to hold screws though. Not screws through it, but screws in to it to draw a countertop down to a cabinet. It also has to withstand adhesive without melting. The solution to the shipping would be to get the big home improvement chains to stock the stuff. I'd bet it would sell once people got familiar with it.

    Jacob, Need to blame the trucking industry for the freight costs. But these panels may be available from a distributor if there is one in your area, call us and we will try to find them locally for you. OF course, as you, know, it cost about the same to send 1 or 50 panels out with truck freight,so the more you order, the better price you have per sheet including freight.

    That hammer test demonstrated the high density of the marine ply over the foam core. There are specifications that list the equivalent of ply wood verses foam core; 9mm marine ply is equivalent to 34oz (1kg per m2) /20mm foam core/ 34 oz with the foam core weighing approx. 6kg/m2. 9mm ply weighs approx 5.3kg/m2. Even when skinned with 6oz cloth and resin, it still comes around the same 6kg/m2. Foam loses on every score except stiffness. Meaning ply needs more stringers or inbuilt structural support from furniture, cupboards etc, or the addition a carbon skinning. Cheers

    Fatal flaw you can't scarf the boards which is a much better method than butt joints. So you'd still be making the majority of the weight of a boat through the hull. BUT, you could use this to make anything from the deck up. This would be an excellent material for making Jon to bass boat conversions much lighter.

    I have built several plywood and cedar strip boats over the past 30 yrs. I have also built an all wood jon boat. My question is how does this material hold up to impacts and direct scrapes from, say rocks. I have found that same boats built in plywood covered in fiberglass take impact better than straight strips of wood covered in fiberglass. The plywood boat weighs more but holds up to impacts better. In the case of my jon boats, the planks were 3/4" pine boards and the boat was 22' long and 4' wide. When built in plywood I can use thinner plywood and cover it in fiberglass inside and out. This keeps my weight down, extends the life of the boat and takes impacts and scrapes very well. By far though the all wood boat with no fiberglass has the best sound dampening in my opinion. I have hit huge rocks mid stream just under the surface of the water and only had minor damage. Usually only to the paint. As another gentleman said scarfing is used allot in building boats and this could prove challenging. Butt blocks could be used of course but this is added weight. I can definitely see the benefit of using this on the interior components such as bulk heads, berths furniture and sub decks. I think a good couple of controlled test of scrapes and impacts would be helpful for your buyers. Like I said I would use this product on interiors but I'm not sold for it on the hull. The hull is just one part of a boat so allot of weight could be saved using this product above the waterline. All this is just my opinion based on my experience with building boats over the years. The larger a boat the more damage it causes and receives when on impacts and scrapes. Of course the thickness of materials will increase with size of the boat. Thanks for showing your product. I would like to try some just to compare. I would use a thickness of plywood that had equal deflection as your fiber core product. Of course this is after the plywood has been glassed inside and out. I believe this would give more of an accurate comparison. This is the same as when I build the jon boats . The one with plywood is built with thinner planks. This keeps the weight down but I gained in strength. Just some food for thoughts. I would love to hear your input or anyone else's input who has used your product.

If I wanted to have a tube structure say 2" o.d. a little inside of the edges for structure and flexion control, how manipulatable is this product? I'm trying to re-work a sandwich composite over foam idead and am thinking about flex over a long edge on two sides of a very lightweight platform. Is there a way to bend it without compromising strength, would I need to cnc some pieces to sandwich around the metal to meet up with the two surface pieces kind of an intricate idea and this looks like it could reduce my weight substantially vs wood

    Greetings and thanks for the video, Listen, this product seems great despite the cost (especially with shipping). But that being the case, now we potential customers who are seriously considering the product need some direct clear answers to our concerns which throughout the comments section have been vaguely replied to if at all by Carbon-Core Corp. (for the record, visiting the website or after calling the technicians/representatives some questions still haven't been definitively answered). Can you all perhaps make an updated video on using fasteners such as screws, bolts, nails, threaded inserts (ATR pins etc.)...and which will and will not work and the stress limitations of each? Also, any suggestions on best way to deal with the cut edges if one wants to make a panel or lid with hinges (i.e., should we carve out the honeycomb edge and epoxy in a strip of wood or pvc, or use construction adhesive to glue on a section of aluminum c-channel over the edge, or just fill in some epoxy or bondo the edge, sand, and then place the screwed hinges in directly)?? My longwinded point is, PLEASE HELP US OUT by making a updated video addressing how to overcome these issues. You will definitely be compensated/rewarded well for making said new video....from all of the business you will gain from the multitude of us whose only hesitation is what was covered in this lecture i just wrote. lol!

    I would think you would core out one panel's edge (make it female). Remove the glass laminate from the other panel's edge (make it the male). Glue those edges and insert the male into female. Then tape both sides with fiberglass. You would have a bit of a bulge because the taped area would be thicker, but this would be strong.

    There is no off gassing, no recycled materials used in our production currently. Screw retention is obviously not the same as wood, but you can get close to same values with right type of fastener. You can check the prices on our website, but no light weight composite material is comparable to wood prices. Boats have been built for 40 years from this material with large percentage of them residing in Florida. There is a reason boats are not built out of wood for a long time.

    Marine plywood is not coated with fiberglass on a pontoon boat. It is just screwed down. But your product looks nice. On a pontoon boat, numerous holes are drilled through it for rails, wires, control cables, seats and accessories. Will your product allow water into the cells once it is drilled?
