Hi all.. sorry if this makes no sense but I'm clueless.

I have a completely knackered elbow and need to immobilise it and then protect it from the rigours of mountain biking.

Have kind of worked out making the mould but laying the carbon fibre (or similar) is way out of my scope.

It needs to be impact and abrasion resistant.

From a quick read, perhaps a few layers of Diolen with Carbon top layers? Help keep the cost sensible.

I'll probably line it with either sheepskin or foam

Is that enough to get started?

Just found the thermoplastic Smile
Now I really need the lining / HD foam
