Hello!

I am planning to make carbon fiber + nomex honey comb sandwich sheets, about 1.5 m2 pieces. The sheets are not 100% straight, but no radical shapes neither included
The skins would be app 220g/m2 carbon, and inside 4,8mm Nomex, 5mm thick. What are my possibilities?
I red about dipping the honeycomb in epoxy. Also about the adhesive films etc. Even some sources say, that I can do everything in one pass, without glues (when using prepreg)..... 

Only the surface facing to the mold has to be perfect, other side does not matter at all.

An AAO pre preg will give a good Finnish and you also have a stronger more resilient Finnish

plus a better part with better resin ratio

Don't get the depth of resin you would with infusion but do you want "bling" or performance ?
