Cut each piece so the ends meet with no overlap.
Carbon fibre wood laminate.
First wrap the shaft with the fiber and cut it to size.
In our belite ultralight aircraft we occasionally make and use a carbon fiber plywood laminate.
With everything pre cut you can start layering the resin and carbon.
Lay the carbon fiber cloth onto the wetted deck.
As for applying the carbon fiber and resin.
It is identical in form to our ground breaking m50 carbon fiber layup stocks with the warmth and beauty of wood.
This makes a very nice looking and strong panel yet is very thin.
More and more carbon fiber is being used not only as a structural but a cosmetic element in todays high end cars.
You will want more that 1 layer and you will want to try to offset the weave on each layer for more strength.
The amazing thing with peel ply is you can pour resin on top of it and roll or squeegee to saturate the carbon fiber more if needed.
Carbon fiber sheets laminates we are a leading manufacturer of high quality sandwich panels and laminates manufactured in a range of composite materials including structural foam honeycomb carbon fiber and fiberglass.
To become the strong light composite material industries love.
If it is a part intended for its appearance and free of gel coat use a high quality polyester or epoxy resin.

Practice learning how to laminate carbon fiber with fiberglass which is a fraction of the cost.
Flatten the carbon to the deck and use the roller to get the air bubbles out of the material.
Creating a one off part can be quite expensive to design mold and produce in carbon fiber.
An extra set of hands is helpful with this.
This stock design is rapidly becoming one of my favorite ambedextrous designs of all time for several reasons.
