Hey
.
I'll
make a
trunk
to a Volvo
in carbon fiber
..(its about 1500*1000 mm)
There
is
an outer
and an
inner mold
, I
wonder what
you think I
should have
the
thickness
of the laminate.
Think
I'll have to
have
single
laminate
because
the laminates
will
be
facing each other
in several places.
I'd appreciate if
I
got some
laminate
proposal
,
I enclose
pictures of
molds and
a fiberglass
hatch
that
I have done.
Can you
build
with the diol
behind the
surface
mat to
bring down the cost
?
Will
laminating
, infusion
, and your
epoxy.
I am going
to glue
the pieces together
, both
across
the whole
but
also
in the middle.
Thanks for your help
.

Hi.
Kevlar would be usefull for better impact resistance than carbon.
Also consider that
diolen
has also a better impact resistance than carbon, and at a fraction of the price.
