I want to make a flat sheet (or rather block) of carbon fiber that is 3cm thick? It's not a big block, roughly 7x7cm. I can only imagine infusion would be pretty useless for this as vacuum will have hard time pushing down that thick of a sheet so I'm thinking wet lay up and put something really really have on top to compress. What say you? Also, most importantly, how many layers do you think i'm gonna need to build that kind of thickness?
Regards,
Stan

Anybody? I'm most likely to be using 285gsm 4x4 twill if that''s of any significance

As a very general rule with vac bagging, I read 200gsm is between .25 and .3mm thick
