It is really easy, but you need to know certain data : dimensions of your part ( in m2), amount of resin needed to saturate every layer of carbon (g/m2) and your carbon weight ( g/m2). For ex 200gsm cf needs ~220 g of resin and your part is 2m2, so (200gsm+220gsm)2m2=4402=880g. It think I explained it clearly ;D Bye Wojtek from Poland ~~~Everytime I hear sound of demoulding part I have eargasm~~~

Group: Forum Members Posts: 10, Visits: 114	Hello, to make a large, super rigid, car splitter - how would you recommend the build? I'm thinking: 200 g top carbon 2 x 650 g carbon 5 mm core 2 x 650 g carbon 200 g bottom aramid And then vacuum bag it. Is this overkill? Thanks!
