Hi Guys! 

I have some problems with fixing two parts. They're aesthetic piece, this limits what to do and use to fix them.

Any suggestions for this application?

Example:

If you are looking at making pipes in one piece then you need to be looking at mandrels or soluble tooling that you wrap the material around, braided socks are especially good at this process and a lot quicker than trying to apply single tows or pieces of material.

I used to make a lot of fuel and coolant carbon hoses for F1, the tools were 3d printed and then wrapped in prepreg then placed into a composite mould so both internal and external faces were tooled, expensive but it had the results we required.
