hmmm
i think one could use wood (a 90 degree joint)and make a section longer than what you need. if you make it
longer then you can cut it in half and that way you have less laying up to do. you could
make the wood wider for vac bagging or just lay it in and brush and roll the CF. if you do
the latter it is a good idea to get or make a vacuum chamber to degas(remove air bubbles)
from your epoxy mix.
i have been reading up on ways to cut it after and the cutting tools for tile that cut wet could
be useful for clean cuts and dust control.
what are your appearance needs for this project? just making it is one thing, but making it
to a high quality cosmetic finish may take some time and experience. if the box is good but not up to
expectations in appearance you could sand it smooth and then cover it with self adhesive CF veneer
or CF pattern vinyl wrap. i assume the ends of the tray part and the larger box/tube section needs to
look good. and the bottom of the box? maybe not such high cosmetic standard. the CF veneer can also
cover any joint lines as well. the vinyl could fix all appearance issues if need be.
