Nother finishing option - Carbon Fiber Wrap

[madbean]

I bought this wrap off Amazon quite a while back but this was my first time using it. To apply, I used 220 grit sandpaper and sanded cross-hatch over the enclosure. This is to create small grooves for the glue on the wrap to adhere to. I cleaned the enclosure with Acetone, then applied the wrap pretty much the same way you would do tolex. It already has a glue backing which makes it much easier. Went on really quick -t he whole cutting and wrapping took less that ten minutes.

I've been looking at that stuff forever. Never popped for it. That looks really cool..

I can never figure out how to handle the corners. I'm also bad at gift wrapping.

that's pretty awesome, it reminds me a little bit of the blue diamond tolex on the old ampegs.

I'm pretty bad at gift wrapping. I've done ok with fabric coverings, but I do avoid stuff like that CF above that would require you get the pattern straight.

Very cool.

How did you deal with the corners?
