hi, looking for some advice. I want to make some carbon fibre support legs for my car rear spoiler.
The legs need to be approx 1 metre long, 200mm at the bottom tapering to 100mm at the top where it joints the spoiler. I have a vacuum infusion set up.
Ideally I want both sides with a gloss finish.
My plan was to use the following stack
200 grm 2/2 twill C/F and 2mm Soric as follows;
C/F, soric, C/F, soric, C/F, soric, C/F
All sandwiched between two pieces of glass (in order to get a gloss finish on both sides)
This should end up about 5-6mm thick.
Qus 1 do you think this would be strong enough?
Qus 2 how can get radius on the leading edge / not end up with the exposed soric the the edges.
Many thanks.
