@curio.wd on Instagram: "Carbon fiber is often mistaken for plastic, but this test shows its true nature. When exposed to a direct gas torch flame, the carbon fiber structure does not melt, drip, or deform. That’s because carbon fiber is made of tightly bonded carbon atoms arranged in an extremely strong lattice. Unlike metals or polymers, this structure stays rigid under intense heat. In real-world applications, carbon fiber components are designed with heat-resistant resins that protect the fi
