I might be wrong but if you use a core material, it preferably wants to be a symetric layup, so to get it close to 3mm: 195gsm CF 195gsm CF 2mm Soric 195gsm CF 195gsm CF If you dont do it symmetrically, one side will be stiffer than the other and cause warping. Again this is what I've heard, I might be wrong. You could use your CSM, but you would have to use a polyester infusion resin, like the one from east coast, or a vinylester, tight corners might be an issue, but it depends, a bonnet might be fine. If you use a polyester, you'd kill 2 birds with one stone and have UV protection. Edited 12 Years Ago by carboncactus
