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.

if your kevlar is inside the laminate, then i would make a template of the mould then use it to trim the holes on the kevlar before laying in the mould. You can also trim the edges millimeter perfect once fully in the mould.  Kevlar cuts neatly before infusion with the kevlar shears.

Cutting kevlar is just plain nasty after infusion as the threads just bounce off most high speed tools and wont sand either. This leaves a rubbish edge. However, running a brand new very sharp blade round the edge of the part once trimmed does get rid of most of the kevlar fluff.
