How to create a resin for prepreg ?

I was wondering if there is a way to create a resin to drop on a tissue to obtain a material whose appearance is similar to industrial prepreg, that is to say a material whose weaving is not deformed during the layup or very little.




Thanks,

I'm very new to composites but wondred the same - I came across this video recently 


I also came across prepreg that apparently doesn't need to be kept in a freezer (rather cure it at higher temps (around 120°C)... I'm intrigued as heat curing is easier for me than maintaining a big enough freezer and especially importing it (it's not available localy at reasonable prices) within a safe time frame (customs is super slow here).


Hi Guys
I know this guy from his yahoo group called       algiecompositeaircraft.   His name is David Algie, He is a composite genius in my opinion and has a F1 background. Some of you will really enjoy and learn from going to his Yahoo Group. He has many picture of his airplane build and shares his technics. This aircraft is of his own design and is powered by a Corvette engine. The entire airplane is made from carbon Fiber and Nomex honeycomb. I have learned a great deal from David on this site. Go have a look, it will really blow your mind!
