hi all, a quick question. Can I stick say 2 layers of kevlar in the between carbon fiber layers in the same wet layup? Making a guitar pedal board for my son. They stomp on it quiet hard so I thought I might reinforce it with something. Will the kevlar make a difference?

May not help at all.

The one layer carbon skins will take all of the load as it is a better than the kevlar. Although the kevlar will then hold it together quite well once broken.

Maybe better with all carbon or all fibrglass. You can probably put kevlar inbetween fibreglass ok too.

Use epoxy resins and not cheap polyester.


hmm intersting. thank you. I'm putting on 6 layers of CF all together. Top layer is decorative. And I thought I'll make layer 3 and 5 kevlar. Just to be safe. I'm using West System epoxy. Seems to be the trend

Using a few layers each side of the kevlar would likely be ok for the purpose. Much better than tempting a 1 layer carbon skin in a stomping song.
