Carbon Sheet Help

Hi,

I am after making a carbon/twaron sheet for in the drivers footwell of my car (replacing the majority of the mat).

So my idea is that it will be carbon/twaron by the pedals and then a step down so that some mat will be by the drivers seat.  The step will be created using 3mm closed cell foam.

The drivers mat has got a section that goes up between the foot rest and throttle under the clutch and brake pedal.  I have a piece of carbon fibre that I want to join to a new carbon/twaron sheet, to replicate that piece of mat, but I don't know how I could join the two pieces and get the required angle, which according to my iPhone is 40 degrees.

I want to avoid making moulds if possible.

Can anyone help?

Thanks. Smile

PVA is fine aslong as you get a good even coating.

I would recommend our ET515 Semi Flexible 15min Epoxy Adhesive as it has a high flexural strength so would be more likely to withstand any flexing compared to other adhesives.
