Sandwich the carbon fiber fabric in between two pieces of plexiglass and two pieces of smooth Teflon release film. Push out any excess resin and air bubbles with a squeegee. Put some books or other flat heavy object on top of the top layer of plexiglass to weigh it down and give you some pressure and then put your feet up and wait. 



There is no easier or quicker method of producing perfect flat cf sheets. I sometimes use window tint film instead of Teflon release film because it's cheaper and see-through so I can see the air bubbles to push put. You can also use one layer of teflon film and one layer of perforated release film so you have the best chance of removing all air bubbles but only one side will come out perfect with no additional work.
