Leon nice video. It's a single infusion, 1 layer of carbon and 5 of glass, right? without the original internal reinforcement

Hii Gabber,

the hood have a complete side I mean two side with internal skeleton made from fiber glass, yup it's because it's ELASTIC (fiber glass+epoxy) I have already explain that on you tube comment. when it crush, the skeleton got really incredibly damage on resin matrix, it's really cracks!! but the fiber glass filament still bond together to sustain the hood form/structur.

Thank's

Leon

ok thanks Leon, now I understand 

Hi Leon
Very very nice work!!
Fred

it would be even more durable if you ditched the glass and used a mix of carbon/kevlar throughout.

hii Warren, you're right about kevlar, I love this material. but I have a problem when trim this material. very hard even use permagrid cutting disk.. did you have any trick?

keep the speed high and trim off the kevlar fluff with a new razor blade or surgical scalpel.

If your using kevlar as just for its properties and NOT for cosmetics, then cut the kevlar a few mm's short of the edge of the mould. Make up the difference with thin strips of carbon tape or some offcuts of carbon.

That way you wont have to actually cut any kevlar post cure.

Thanks Warren, I'll do it,  And see how effective on triming process ..
