Hi, i want to increase the thickness of some aluminium sheet by adding several layers of carbon fibre to the one side of it. However I want the finished piece to have structural strength not just cosmetic.
My plan was to produce the carbon panels first with several layers of reinforcement using a vacuum bag and peel ply on one face, then fix to the aluminium panels via a structural glue rather then epoxy resin.
Thoughts would be welcome ,thanks

It can be done although not recommended in the case of a structural part.
This below is an intake for a subaru we have done which was one layer pre preg carbon wrapped over a folded sheet alloy part. It was just a simple way to form the shapes without building moulds. and to test fit the part too. The tube is also aluminum.
