Alternatives to carbon fiber and resin for testing setups as a dry run

Hi,

Was wondering if anybody has any good suggestions to alternatives to carbon fiber and resin for testing setups. So that I am not wasting as much carbon and resin I am looking for a way to do a dry run.

I had thought maybe some kind of cheap material and a liquid that has a similar viscosity to the IN2 resin that EC sells.

I understand that the only real way to test is with the real materials but wonder if there would be any value in doing a test like this and if anybody on here does this?

Thanks for any input / ideas

Yeah thanks again the the extra suggestion there. I didn’t so much need anything that would set, but just to get an idea about the flow while it’s live.
