Hi all,

Just wanted to hear your methods and thoughts.

For my next project I am making a spoiler for a remote controlled car, which is a fairly simple curved design much like an F1 wing minus the side plates.

I am looking for a perfect cosmetic finish so I was intending on doing a resin infusion, however I would like a gloss finish on both sides of the part.

I have read about doing the infusion without peel ply and using a core material for flow media then just using vacuum bagging straight over the carbon fabric but this still wont give a perfect finish..




What are my options other than making two halves and gluing together?




Thanks in advance!

Hi Honaldo,




Bonding two halves together isn't a problem, although I was just looking for a more pure method.

A match mould is definitely an option however I don't have an oven for prepreg at current.

Thanks for the suggestions!
