hello guys , 
its my first post here , i dont know if this chapter is the right place for this question but i ll throw it .

I want to make the joints of a bicycle with cf,
i am thinking to carve the shapes in foam either take 2 part foam and fuse it into a mold , to make the mould of the part 
then i will vacuum infuse the part over the mold of the foam i ll make 
after that i am thinking to remove the foam with ACETON.

the question is  will aceton hurt the carbon fiber part or the epoxy resin ,affecting the parts strength?

Thanks in advance
