Carbon fiber has lots of advantages, and this is not the place to extol them, but we do want to address a weakness. If you do not properly seal your edges and have a nasty crash, the carbon fiber layers can actually separate ruining the integrity of your chassis. We call this delaminating and its not a pretty sight. Its very easy to seal your carbon fiber chassis and can save you some heartache.

• Carbon Fiber Chassis
• 400 Grit Sand Paper
• Super Glue

First thing you need to do is scuff up the edges to allow the glue to stick better. Really the grit is not important, but the smoother sandpaper will leave a slicker finish look better when you are done.

With a Q-Tip, wipe glue all around the edges.

That's it, now you can finish building your car and you won't have to worry about your beautiful carbon fiber chassis delaminating.

Notes: Some like to use zip kicker around the edge before gluing the chassis. Either method yields the same results, so we take the simpler route.
