Hey guys

I am new in this and am very interested in the way it works and the finished pieces. I am looking into making and (hopefully) selling carbon fibre car parts, specifically focusing on japanese cars and vw camper vans.

Just a few questions...

1. When making a rear spoiler or front splitter, what is the easiest and most effective way to make it? ie. in 2 parts upper and lower and fuse together, and if so how would you recommend fusing them together with small visable joins?

2. Would it work if i vacuumed the product after brushing the resin/hardner on, so it'll be sealed till cured but done manually? Only because I havent bought the vacuum infusion gear yet and was wondering if I could do it without at the mo, by using a clothes vacuum bag and a hoover lol.

Hope I dont sound too much like a dumb ass haha

Many thanks

Al
