Is there a good way to get carbon to go tightly round a right angle?
Thanks

Hi.
If you use vacuum, it will help. But as always you will need to massage the bag with some tool to help fabric go in the corner. A rubber rectangle would be used there, so it will not make a hole in your bag. You may have to massage the bag several times depending how complex is your shape.
If you lay your fabric "outside" a mutliple right angle part (a cube for example), some cuts would help.
And also I saw people who would use spray glue (3M 77) to help hold the fabric in place.
Hope it helps.
