Hi,
I am skinning a turbo inlet pipe that is round, tapers from one end to the other and also has a tight bend in it. Initially I layed down a first layer using 25mm plain weave CF tape because the inlet pipe was made up of two pieces and i needed the piece structurally joined before moving on. I have sanded the piece down ready for the next layer which will be the nice visual layer as seen when the piece is finished.
My next step is to add another layer using 3k 2x2 twill but I would like advice on how to get a perfect join when I lay the CF on the resin and also the odd shape of the piece. I don't want the weave coming apart if I cut it and I also don't want to overlap the joint.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, btw, this is my first skinning project.

It would almost be easier to make the complete tube from carbon.
