Hello!

I am planning to make carbon fiber + nomex honey comb sandwich sheets, about 1.5 m2 pieces. The sheets are not 100% straight, but no radical shapes neither included
The skins would be app 220g/m2 carbon, and inside 4,8mm Nomex, 5mm thick. What are my possibilities?
I red about dipping the honeycomb in epoxy. Also about the adhesive films etc. Even some sources say, that I can do everything in one pass, without glues (when using prepreg)..... 

Only the surface facing to the mold has to be perfect, other side does not matter at all.

Hi
If you try To use the honeycomb core without a resin film in one go with pre preg you will starve the carbon of resin giving a poor quality component in strength and looks, a better method would be to used the EC specific adhesive although you could coat the surfaces with a laminating epoxy as a second best option.
