Sirpale – Replikan valmistus
Pekka Rautala on tehnyt replikan Sirpale-veneestä. Piirustuksia ei löytynyt, joten vene suunniteltiin vanhojen mainoskuvien pohjalta ja tehtiin mäntyrimarakenteella kuten alkuperäinenkin. Ulkopinta laminoitiin Kevran epoksilla ja lasikuidulla kestävyyden parantamiseksi. Vene on esitelty mm. Vene25-messuilla ja Puupaattei-näyttelyssä Uudessakaupungissa.
Niilo Valtonen has built custom front and rear fenders for his drifting car. The project used gelcoat, polyester resin, 300 g fiberglass mat, and release wax. The molds were also self-made. The parts have been in use for over five years! Check out more of Niilo's projects on Instagram: @niilovaltonen
Fender Flares for a Corvette
Miska Kähkönen and his team have designed custom fender flares for a Chevrolet Corvette C5 and created a mold for them. For the mold, they used Kevra’s black gelcoat, polyester resin, air roller, mold release wax, and modeling clay. The final parts were manufactured by JTK Composites Oy. A similar project is already planned for the rear fenders. You can follow the progress on their social media channels!

Wingfoil
Jyrki Haajanen built his own wingfoil board! The board measures 200 x 53 x 15 cm and weighs just 5.6 kg. The core is made from EPS, reinforced with PVC foam sheets. The surface is laminated with 200 g/m² twill carbon fiber fabric and 160 g/m² twill fiberglass. Under the deck padding, there’s also PVC and fiberglass. The final finish is done with 2-component varnish.
Custom Air Deflector
Over the years, Pekka Korhonen has completed several projects using Kevra materials. In his latest build, he created a custom air deflector for a Honda S2000 race car. The unique pattern was made by cutting carbon fiber fabric into small pieces, scattering them in the mold, then pressing in imitation gold leaf, and adding more fiber. For strength, he used plain weave fiber (192 g/m²) and 600 g/m² twill carbon fiber, along with vacuum bagging materials.

Using Carbon Fiber Sheet in a Race Car
Thomas Skjäl used 1 mm thick carbon fiber sheet in his BMW E46 turbo track car.

Race Boat
He stripped the entire structure and rebuilt everything himself using Kevra materials, reducing the boat’s weight by nearly 80 kg! He’s spent a year fine-tuning the engine and controls. This year, he reinforced and straightened the hull and made components like the steering console, racing seat, and engine cover from carbon fiber. Next up: he’ll be building the fuel tank and throttle pedal also from carbon fiber. Roger has used many of Kevra's products. Here’s a full list of the Kevra's products he used: Fiberglass fabric twill: 160 g/m² and 202 g/m², Fiberglass biaxial: 300 g/m² and 600 g/m², Carbon fiber twill: 202 g/m², Carbon fiber biaxial: 600 g/m² and 800 g/m², Carbon fiber plain weave: 200 g/m², PVC sheets: 3 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, Ampreg 30 epoxy, microspheres and cellulose fiber, vacuum film, peel ply, and sealant tape.

Mold Making
Joni Vuorela has created advanced molds for a BMW E21 Group 5 build! The molds were made using 300 g/m² chopped strand mat, polyester resin, and gelcoat, along with release wax. A great example of skilled craftsmanship using simple and cost-effective Kevra materials!

Carbon Fiber Parts
Seppo Airaksinen has crafted various carbon fiber parts for his supermoto bike. In this project, he made an air filter box using vacuum infusion technique. Materials used: 400 g/m² biaxial carbon fiber, 200 g/m² twill carbon fiber and Ampreg 30 epoxy. The molds were also self-made. Seppo has also built a front fork protector and a skid plate for the bike.
Hockey Stick Repair
Here’s a broken hockey stick repaired by Arvo Taupila using Kevra's carbon fiber sleeve. Thanks for participating in our project competition!
Goalie Pads Reinforced with Carbon Fiber
Joel Haapalainen created new reinforcement plates for his goalie pads. Originally made from polyester resin-laminated paper/fiberglass plates, they were replaced with epoxy-laminated carbon fiber plates. He used Kevra’s 480 g/m² plain weave carbon fiber fabric. After hand lamination, the parts were placed in a vacuum bag. Joel has been using the pads for 2 months now, and the results have been excellent – controlling the puck’s direction has improved noticeably. Next up in Joel’s workshop: custom skate guards.
Hockey Stick Repair
Tapani Vuorenmaa repairs carbon fiber hockey sticks as a hobby. He uses a 50 mm carbon fiber sleeve and Ampro epoxy.
