Hi
 
Fairly new to to this, I have a little project to make a rig that needs carry some weight and i thought I would see how nice and light i could make it with carbon.

I picture mainly making carbon U-beams, custom fitted in lengts and ends to the craft it wil be mounted on. idealy i would just make a mokup in 2x4 timbers and then use these as a base to make moulds over that i can then lay the carbon on for vacum infusion.

Is it possible to use wood materials for mould making, or will it absorb resins and coatings and be impossible to split apart again or get a nice surface for the mould?.

Any other suggestions for suitable materials?
