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 only need the mould -facing surface to be perfect, and the curvature of the part is very slight, then you can do two prepreg "skin" parts from the mould, then key one on the outside and use as the inner "skin" 
You can then use a thin rolled on (or even sprayed) layer of laminating resin on the two "skins" and compress the whole "sandwich" back in the mould, just using flat bags of sand to keep the sandwich together ..

Good luck Smile
