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

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

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

Now you need a new dial caliper, ha. I love honeycomb design. Looks like a great product. I have the same sneakers, Walmart.

very good your videos. I'm building a camper and the information is very important.

I love this stuff!

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.

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

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. 🤑🤑🤑👍👍👍

Cool explanation! Cheers 🥂!

Hi, Was the floor damaged because of wood rot , impact or tensile failure? Do you know the thickness of the plywood floor that was damaged?

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!

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.

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.

@Carbon-Core Corp. If you use this in a cuddy cabin rebuild, do you have to encapsulate it with fiberglass? Or, is it waterproof as a stand alone?

Cool! Thank you!

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

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

How do you fiberglass over the panel? Does the fiberglass on it have laminating resin or does it need to ground before adding glass overtop?

Would you recommend this for building an enclosed trailer?

Thanks buddy. I’m researching the right panel for this 4 foot speed square/ cutting jig for chopping plywood for home construction. I’m gonna be a millionaire

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

Good info - cheers

QUESTION: Has anyone (Mike?) found away to create seamless edge joints when bonding these panels to form a bigger sheet? I open to any guidance

how do you fasten the carbon core material together?

I need some 10 foot long for my second floor balcony deck. Will this hold up in bad weather?

How do I get in touch for a technical question? I need to build a thin piece think catamaran wing, as thin as possible. 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

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.

How is boat hardware such as a console or T Top attached to this if I am replacing the deck core with it ?

Hello from Argentina! O have a question, This honeycomb board can be used for a "boat deck" that goes down the floor? Instead of wood, because its an old boat and the structure that hold the floor is made of wood and it's all rotten. Thanks for the advice

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

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.

Restance to uv? I am replacing the wood floor I installed in my 16 foot Princecraft Starfish. Also wear and tear from walking on this material. Oh and, slippery when wet? I sealed some sand ontop of the ply to prevent the coated surface from being slippery.

Cool stuff

I would like to try that one

Can HoneyComb board be used for Bulkheads and is it compatible to Vinylester & Polyester resin?

How does Carbon Core accept nails and screws going through the board and onto the stringers? What about the compression at the small area of the heads of nails or screws? Is each cell in the Carbon Core guaranteed to be sealed and waterproof, and what of the butting of panels ... any special needs? How does 3/4" Carbon Core compare to 3/4 inch marine plywood, in a collision situation?

If I build a deck out of the honeycomb, can I glass over it to make it blend to the boat itself. Doing a skiff and I want the front and back deck to be level with the top of the boat.

Any videos of finished applications, customer products?

I wonder what the insulation rating is as well considering it looks like a paper honeycomb loom inside. May be better as well. Curious if it is efficient there as well, if it could be used as an rv floor base material. Does it have a higher water resistance than natural plywood? Lots of other tests to do but really cool product.

Can this be used for lightweight cubby type cabinets for an enclosed trailer?

can you make an entire boat hull with it?

Great video. I'm looking for a light weight alternative to plywood decking for my enclosed car trailer. Would this be strong enough for that application?

Will this work for house roof decking?

Hi, I am interested in these panels can I cut them with a jigsaw or a circular saw also is there some kind of bonding glue or epoxy that will permanently bond them, And how do you order? I’m building a camper trailer and like the rigidity and the weight these offer .

Is this product able to be cut down to size with a circular saw? I apologize if this sounds redundant, I'm just trying to figure how to apply it to my own needs. Thank you in advance!

I would like to use this on my pontoon boat I am rebuilding. How will it hold up and what is life expectancy? Can I get this in California?

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.

great product i would use it to build the walls of a houseboat

Can you build a swim grid out of the plastic panel to replace a teak swim grid?

Im thinking of building a truck.camper out of the ¾ Material. Would you know the insulation value? And would I be able to use any fiberglass resin to joim the panels?

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

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?

Hello I am looking for some sort of flexible sheeting that isnt corplast but has similar characteristic to be able to flex and form an arch the long way with about 4 feet between the ends once bent..i am trying to build a bike towable camper..thanks any ideas are helpful make

What about breakdown in the Florida sun over 20y? Any off gassing ? Is any part of this product from recycled materials? Will screws be a secure as they are in wood? Can it be used in a small house build in place of wood sheathing?.. and the 1M question.. price comparison?

Yes it is

How do you bend this stuff?? I want to make a hard top for our 1956 42" Matthews and need to keep it lightweight.

Has carbon-core ever sold precut/finished edge product?

I just need a 4x8 sheet for my project. How would I order one?

Dude You rock!!! Great info. Can you line the cuts with something to avoid exposure to the honeycomb?

I'm in Virginia and I'm interested in come by to check this stuff out and buy some. Bec I just got old airstream and it has no floors in it

what type of plastic? Will it bond with fiberglass? Is it safe to cut with a laser (no pvc or epoxy)?

What’s the best way to cut coroplast?

Do you have instructions on creating a curved surface using the plastic? Say a camper for bicycles. This will reduce the weight but not sure I can bend it without break it.

could you build a flying copy of the spruce goose out of it?

Can you screw into this and how does the pullout strength compare

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?

Please share a link to this product demonstrated here.

Only negative thing I’ve been hearing about honeycomb for boat floors is it’s tough to screw into if your trying to add a tower . Or anything that needs to be structurally secured.

What about screwing into it? What about glue? It doesn't matter if it lighter if you can't use common fasterners

how does it react to a gas spill if filling your tank and accidently over fill.

I want to use that core as the floor of a johnboat. Ribs are spaced at just about 12".

ok its lighter ... is it more cost effective ... as in same or lower price to the marine plywood lamination ...

Can i put these on a 53ft trailer

how can used ? nail, glue, screw? can make something ensambled?

And the plywood flexes 1/64 th after it has skin on both sides 🙂🙂 And how much are those plastic panels? Would be nice to compare the two .

Hi ! I'm in the wheelchair and damaged my van floor twice, with plywood base, so I'm looking for a different solution. Could this be a valid alternative, strong enough and water resistant ?

how can I get your product and not spend $250 on shipping? Near Charlotte NC

Can it even be applied in building a teardrop trailer too cut weight

I have been looking for something like this but I need a 5 foot by 12 foot do you offer that size

For clarity, to use as deck or add a false floor (my case) in a boat, the surface IS already fiberglassed so it's simply a matter to add fiberglass & resin at edges to attach/fair into the sides of the boat? Also, is the 19mm stiff enough as is, or would it ideally need stringers to support it underneath? Thanks.

I went to see how much shipping would be. It said shipping would be 195 dollars. That was more than the two or three sheets I would need. So sad. I thought the light weight made shipping less. Can I pick it up myself? Where is it located?

Yes Sir, our honeycomb is compatible with both resins and thousands of boat bulkheads have been successfully built with our core material.

Is it possible to pick up an order to save on shipping cost?

Yes sir do you ship to the uk?

Can this material be used as an engine hatch? Mine presently is crazy heavy plywood. Thanks

How could you incorporate this in to a transom just to hold a 50hp 4 stroke motor

stitch and glue?

Where can we purchase it? Your website have no pricing. Yes it have information and data but why don't you have online ordering service?

Wish it was available here in Okinawa, Japan.

An eight of an inch 1/8" is .125", not about .200".

What is the r value of the 1/2" and 3/4" ? Is 5/8" available ?

does the honey comb come in 3/8" thickness? Surprisingly my deck is 3/8" plywood , resin on the under side...and several layers of mat on top with gelcoat

Honey comb will still need resin and a layer of glass on both sides for strength which will and some weight. You should notate that in your description. It will still be lighter than wood.

Not exactly a miracle material. Drive a fastener into it, or hang something on it vertically. what is the cost vs marine grade plywood? What is the thermal expansion? Tensile strength? No doubt this has really good applications, but you should be a little more forthcoming on where and where not this will be a good application.

found thisvideo whenI searched on aluninum honey comb

On tropical island this is used for kitchen cabinets, wood on tropical island rot termites and a there little critters eat the wood,not PVC

i'm interested in impact resistance.

Price comparison to plywood?
