Hello all, I am Mike, from the Midlands. Ive been into composites since the tender age of around 18 and now Im at the fatter side of a spritly, young 26. Im actually a composite technician by trade working for a worldwide firm that specialise in high end road car/aviation/motorsport/military etc composite parts from complete bodyshells down to the smallest of interior trim for very expensive posh cars.

Anyway, enough of that tosh...

Ive got to a stage at home now where I retail my own fibreglass parts across several car owners forums & also eBay to keep a gentle sum of money coming in so around two years ago I ventured into working with carbon & kevlar. Unfortunatly all wet lay as tooling/equip costs for prepreg are out of my league Sad so I just thought I come along for some easy reading, helping others, getting some tips etc as we dont do much if any wet lay at work as its ALL prepreg.

So heres some randon pics Ive dragged of my PB account...

One of the first peices of wet lay sheet I ever made...



Cirlce are cut from a sheet I made, hazy finish sheet was bought from an alleged pro company. Gotta love the clarity!



Wrapped interior trim part



FG front quarter bumpers



Carbon front wings for a sprint car
