I'm wondering how much carbon fibre cloth (and associatedmoulding equipment) i will need to replicate a dual hull model boat i have, itwill need to be strong enough to withstand engine vibration & waterinteraction.

Should i be using just the plain cloth or put through afew layers of your kevlar / aramid weave?ill be putting some pretty fastengines in it & don't want it to..

a) break up under stress of hitting the water or

b) allow water to seep through - is this an issue? i havenot used carbon fibre before? if it is, how many layers do i need to use toensure waterproofing while still keeping it as light as possible?

It is approximately 50cm width x 50cm length * 100mmdepth

I live in Australia and i was wondering what the shippingto here would be - i live at hope island on the gold coast (QLD) the postcodeis 4212,

Thanks in advance,
