Hey.
I'll make a trunk to a Volvo in carbon fiber ..(its about 1500*1000 mm)
There is an outer and an inner mold, I wonder what you think I should have the thickness of the laminate.
Think I'll have to have single laminate because the laminates will be facing each other in several places.
I'd appreciate if I got some laminate proposal, I enclose pictures of molds and a fiberglass hatch that I have done.
 Can you build with the diol behind the surface mat to bring down the cost?
Will laminating, infusion, and your epoxy.
I am going to glue the pieces together, both across the whole but also in the middle.
Thanks for your help.
