Hi, I want to make 2 front wings in carbon for my 106 Maxi and I have the original items to make a mould from.

I have no doubt if I had all the stuff in front of me I could make a panel I would be happy with but I get

totally lost when I try to figure out what exactly I need to make a mould and what I need to make the carbon

panel and how much of everything is required.

I am not looking for a smooth show finish as the panels will be painted and covered in sign wrighting so

do I need to vacuum bag them of is there another way around it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

sorry for the short first reply,

the resin will flow the easiest where ever the infusion mesh is, yes the vacuum will pull the cloth into the corners but you will have to ease it in while under a partial vacuum otherwise the cloth will 'bridge' across. it is possible to use a spray adhesive (i think matt now stocks this) and then glue your cloth into the mould, so you can position it well into the corners and along the edges (bonnet/door edges)
