Example of Pre-Preg Carbon Fibre Benefits

Howdy,
In learning all this I have heard of the pre-preg CF. From what I can guess it does not unravel as easy?
I really do not have a clear understanding of the fabrics properties and how it really can make things easier.
I would love to get to the experience level of making a Carbon Fiber race seat, and with that I would want to use that wishbone lay on the first layer, down the middle of the seat.
Is this where I could benefit with pre preg?

p.s. someone please fix my thread header.... benefit..

A vacuum bag you remove the air between mould surface and the bagging film, thus the air outside the bag forces the bag onto the mould.

Pressure bagging you in effect inflate a bag and directly apply pressure that way with an inflated bag.

Pinholes can be caused by a number of reasons. First make sure youve zero bridging.  Then a good bag and that you have the correct cure cycle.
