Plastic Honeycomb Composite Panels VS Plywood

Lightweight Composite Plastic Honeycomb Panels comparison to plywood for boat repair.

[louisgl]

I think you gave a very GOOD intro in comparing two different materials. thanks

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.

Great video. I have been looking for this kind of material for RV use. Thanks

[SimplyRedVirginia]

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!

Can these be screwed down like a typical plywood deck on a boat

[jacobj.]

You guys had me when I went to the website. The price per sheet was less than imagined, until I put in my zip code and seen the shipping cost which was more than twice the cost of the material.

[TheSilverSurfisher]

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!

Great info, thanks!
Do you have 1/8" thick 4 x 8 sheets that would work for exterior RV panels?

[lanilife]

I'm so glad I found this video. It will be so help when I build out my van for camping. The polycarbonate will save so much weight. 🤑🤑🤑👍👍👍

[Gantzz]

could not help but notice you didn't do an impact test. Also an R-value test. Have you had any customers use your products to fabricate campers?

[electricwally]

Thank you. Great information. I would like to see an impact and/or hammer test to see how this honeycomb polyethylene material holds up as compared to plywood. The honeycomb polyethylene panels are also use to construct road-cases to be used to store 88 key electronic keyboards and all other cases involved in the music industry that are packed in semi-trucks for a concert. Would really like to see how this material holds up to the industry wear and tear. Thank you kindly.

[pacervault]

I would love to rebuild the interior of my 24 foot sailboat using this material!Wondering if I can get it on the west coast.

[oldmaninavan]

Yes! I would love to build a DIY truck camper from this material. Where do I buy it?

[rccslife]

how do you fasten the carbon core material together?

[mikecampbell]

I just ordered the sample pack, I gotta see it to believe it! Thanks for the video!

[F-N-C]

You think this would work for making a small tear drop camp trailer?

[robertcain]

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

how do you seam the edges when using multiple panel's?

[KangaAndTwoRoos]

I'm needing a plywood to replace the flooring in a shuttle bus.

The light weight and sound deadening sounds desirable for what I need.

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.

[Nitewatch-xcyz]

Would you recommend this for building an enclosed trailer?
