Group: Forum Members Posts: 1, Visits: 11	Hi I'm new!! New to this forum, new to composites. I'm really interested, and have been for some time in using carbon kevlar. For a heap of things mainly for some parts for my cafe racer project(seat unit and engine covers to start) I also want to use it in my van!! My van gets used for a heap of stuff, tip runs, carrying motorbikes/bmx's, camping and day trips! I have never wanted to fully "camper" my van as I didn't want use petrol carting heave camper items when I'm not using it for that(my van bearly gets 25mpg as it is!!) I go a small sample of carbon kevlar from a boat builder friend and some blue gee epoxy resin! I Tryed to make a dash cover(which has always been missing)...it didn't go well! It's still squiggly now even though I used 5:1 recommended mix...think I used to much resin!! Oh...and I found out how much it frays when cut...must by some shears!!! I saw someone had used vacum bags which I thought of going too, glad it wasn't a total hair brain idea!! I don't have the use of an oven(mrs won't be happy using the kitchen one) so I thought about using a cheap electric blanket to generate a bit of heat during the curing process????too far out?? Anyway I'm going to have a look around try and Lear about resin, vacum
