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

You could be right about the expansion although I tried to keep the heat down as much as possible because its very easy with the heat gun to get local hot spots and either melt through the shrink and or boil the resin, obviously scraping the finished tube.




one thing I learned was the tape is pretty much unusable with a hot gun as it melts at the slightest over heat but the shrink tube is fairly workable.
