Hi guys,

I’m currently trying to do research on producing a carbon fibre piece to replace my spark plug cover on my Honda. The piece looks like this..

The kit I have purchased to make the part is the following.

Am I able to just clean, apply release agent then coat the part in epoxy, allow to partly set tacky, lay fabric, wet out, lay second layer ect until thick enough then for the final layer allow to fully dry, apply epoxy coat layers up then wet sand, polish until glossy, finally just release the part from the Carbon piece?

I have just purchased a house so I’m on a unbelievably low budget unfortunately!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for all your replies..

I am going to start practicing skinning then look at skinning fibre glass moulds to begin with.

What kit would be the best for making fibre glass parts?

Hopefully it goes well!

Cheers for the input!
