Hi guys/gals.

Ive been interested in CF for quite a while now, I purchased a mould making kit and CF kit. Enjoyed creating some small items but i had air bubbles at the time.

Im looking at making some carbon fibre headlight covers for my vehicle. The size is ~ 26cm x 34cm.

I just want to ask what are the best options for me with both mould making (am i best to buy the mould kit again)? or try my hand at fibreglass moulds?

I really want a decent finish on the cover, But after the bubbles disaster last time im worried ill blow £30 on CF and it be ruined cosmetically.  Unfortunately i dont have £300 spare to spend on a vacuum bagging kit. so im kind of stuck doing it manually. Is it actually possible to get a decent finish this way? or am i best to save and buy the vacuum kit,

I plan on purchasing a heat gun, and also ill need high temp resin due to potential engine bay temps.

The last kit i ordered were:

Carbon Fibre Mould Making Kit
Carbon Fibre Laminating Starter Kit

Any help/suggestions are welcome

Thanks
Ross.
