Hi, i want to increase the thickness of some aluminium sheet by adding several layers of carbon fibre to the one side of it. However I want the finished piece to have structural strength not just cosmetic.
My plan was to produce the carbon panels first with several layers of reinforcement using a vacuum bag and peel ply on one face, then fix to the aluminium panels via a structural glue rather then epoxy resin.

Thoughts would be welcome ,thanks 

Keeping the carbon balanced would produce a part that is stronger, that strength being dominated by the carbon.  Stiffness would be increased. 

One problem would be dealing with galvanic corrosion.  When bonding to aluminum, it is critical to properly prep the aluminum and use a proper adhesive for it.
