Hi there,
New to the forum so good day to everyone.
I want to eventually convert all my plastics (fairings) to CF and having to wet lay as I will go to vacuum bagging at some point in the future.
I want to start with simple molds first but a few have flanges/ mounting points behind the plastics. What's the best way to do this? Been watching vids on here and pootube.
If I can upload an image will do so asap.
Until then many thanks.
Jay

Hey.
Welcome. What bike is it? Road going machine or dual sport, Enduro or MX? I have a KTM enduro bike (not that the brand is pertinent, I'm just showing off) and have been contemplating a variety of parts out of CF for it. I have however decided to leave plastics as they are for now as they are bound to take a beating if made in CF. I have however been thinking of some of the flexible resins, but have still considered plastics as on the back burner as I make other parts.
