Layers for a car splitter

Hello,

to make a large, super rigid, car splitter - how would you recommend the build?

I'm thinking:

200 g top carbon

2 x 650 g carbon

5 mm core

2 x 650 g carbon

200 g bottom aramid

And then vacuum bag it.

Is this overkill?

Thanks!

Thanks,

How can make a rough calculation of the weight for this setup?

Hi !
It is really easy, but you need to know certain data : dimensions of your part ( in m2), amount of resin needed to saturate every layer of carbon (g/m2) and your carbon weight ( g/m2). For ex 200gsm cf needs ~220 g of resin and your part is 2m2, so (200gsm+220gsm)*2m2=440*2=880g.
It think I explained it clearly ;D
