Guys

i am considering purchasing either an infusion kit or a normal vacuum kit from EC, i intend to use it on the following and am after any advice:-

1. I wish to "skin " a wing with CF that has been professional manufactured  from a foam core that has a thin wood veneer. The wing is to be fitted to a speed hill climb car. The purpose of the skin is to provide some protection to the wing. What would be the best way to finnish the surface after the vacuum process.

2. I also what to construct some "end plates" ( approx 0.5 M x 0.8 M ) from CF/core/CF sandwich. I was considering doing this between two plates of glass ( I'm looking for a good finnish on both faces ). Had a go at this using wet lay up / clamps....not much success. 

 3. Finally some time in the future i would like to have a go at wing ( for the same speed hill climb car ) totaly out of CF. This would use two molds for the top/bottom of the wing and returns to enable good bonding between the halves.

I have some experience of wet layup fibre glass but this is my first venture into vacuum bagging.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated
