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
