Hi guys . Ok Im obviously new here and to bagging infusion. Im planing to make my own carbon fiber hood however this thing is huge. Almost 2 meters in width and 2 meters long. Obviously I can order as long of carbon fiber cloth as I want. But I havent been able to find a supplier that would sell a wide enough fabric as to completely cover the hood without the need to use two pieces of fabric parallel to each other in this hood. Now there might be something I dont know but my thinking is that if I lay 2 separate fabrics one next to each other for infusion in the finish product you could see the separation of the 2 and so it wouldnt look that good.
So my question is whether there is a way to infuse a big part laying 2 separate cloth and avoid visual detection of 2 separate pieces being use and or if anyone sells a wide enough cloth to 2 meters.
Thanks

Thanks for the amazingly fast response. I re-measure and I only need 5 feet width=60 inch. I did a little digging and just found a supplier with a 60 inch wide cloth. Thanks a lot. You shall see my order on your equipment soon.
