Hy guys. 
I work on a project that requires wraping wooden tapered ellipsoid object in 2 layers of carbon fiber. Carbon is added for stiffness and visual appearence so nice layup is must.

Carbon goes from bottom of part and goes on sides, it doesnt go all the way around.

I have to use wet layup method combined with vacuum so my plan is to:
1. Cover wood with black tinted epoxy
2. Wait for tacky stage and add first layer
3. Add resin to saturate fabric
4. Wait for tacky stage to add other layer
5. Add resin to saturate fabric
6. Place peel ply and breather and use around 20% vacuum to remove excess resin

My questions are:
1. Will 20% vacuum remove excess resin since most of resin reached tacky or beyond tacky stage?
2. Is there anything to change in the process to ensure good bond and appearance?
3. Process is like skinning with carbon only using 2 layers instead of one and using vacuum to remove excess resin. Should I do like plan above or should I do 1 layer, wait it to cure, key whole surface and repeat process for 2nd layer?

Thanks

I honestly feel vacuum will make a big mess of this. You'll get resin going all over the place, you won't be able to do it without atleast some pleats in the bag on the surface of the carbon, which will affect the appearance, and it still won't really help THAT much with getting the carbon into those grooves. Atleast not enough to make it worth the trouble of doing.

I would do it wet, without vacuum. At the most possibly a shrink tape, but this will cause the carbon to bridge the grooves, and you may have trouble on the top of the gun where you don't want the carbon to go, the tape may shrink too much and snap there.
