Thanks Matt. With it being a fairing, it needs to remain pretty stiff at high speed, do you think two layers of carbon and a sandwich in between would be sufficient? Or more carbon? Its fixed at each edge with bolts so the bolt areas need to be robust as that's what carries the stress at speed. The first couple I make will just be standard wet layups, not vac'd. I plan to use peel ply on the back for a decent finish (I've done this before with wet layup to good effect).
Would you also use carbon tape around the edges between the carbon layers or not neccessary? I'm thinking that would give thickness and reinforcement to the bolt areas.
