Hi 

i plan on making a Roll Wrapped carbon fiber tube of 90mm ID and 97mm OD.I was planing on using 12k 400gsm plain weave Carbon fiber material for the same but i am concerned that the cloth will not conform well to the mandrel at the time of wrapping.I plan to vacuum bag after wrapping it manually .

So will 12k 400gsm plain weave cloth work or do i need to change the weave/cloth?

Please help

Unsure why the Vaseline worked when the others didn't, Paul at EC put me on to it.
I expected to wrap the tube and the simply tap the carbon off BUT it was solid.
You have to be able to brake the initial key that is formed by the curing process, i tried freezing it, heating it and smashing with a block NO JOY but vaseline gave no problems.


will post picture when photobucket issues sorted.
