Hi Everyone!

I am just about to  start my first resin infusion project but come up with some question I need to get answer before.

The project is just  a carbon fibre cylinder 110cm long by 15cm width by 1cm thick

How many layers of carbon do I need and how many slow infusion resin would I need?


Which would be the best and cheapest  way to get that thickness?Using x2 lantor soric between two layers of carbon on each side? In this case how to calculate the amount of resin do I need?

The aim is to get a part as cheap , light and strong as possible.

Than k you very much in advance for all your answer.

best regards

My god Oekmont thats an amazing answer, its great have someone who has done something similar and is willing to help.

Around 120 different layups??? I send you food from Spain for that! BigGrin

I am going to make start with 200gr 2/2 twill glass fibre in a solid piece of 3mm thickness 35 diameter and 14 depth

Thanks a lot Oekmont
