Hello, 

great to have a forum like this. Thumbs up!

I am looking at creating a carbon fiber copy of my motorcycle dash. 

I do have some questions regarding the method connected to this, but first of all I was wondering if I'm good off with an Epoxy Mould Making Starter Kit, together with a Carbon Fibre Laminating Starter Kit. Will I have enough material to make a copy of this dash?

Thank you!

Yours sincerely

I agree with Warren, flat sheet is easiest option and likely to yeild best results for a novice. Wet lay is perfectly possible but will take practice to make a good one.  Out of Autoclave pre-preg would be good too but not a cheap option!
