Hello, I am interested in purchasing the kits to build a skid plate outof carbon fiber for my moto...sure, it probably costs less to buy one from amanufacturer but, I thought it would be a good project to learn how to make itmyself...I am just not sure how many layers of carbon fiber or kevlar I wouldneed to use. Any suggestions, would be appreciated. Please remember, the bottomof a motorcycle (offroad) will take some hits on rocks or dirt. Also, thefinish, do I just apply a clear coat of paint? (Great tutorials and website!!)Tank you!! Miguel

Yeah that about sums it up!

It's also great for making bariers around a part for the flanges on a mould.
