You should post pictures of how you lay the panels up too unless you don't wan tto give that away. Its always interesting seeing how someone does it at home as such.

I only ever see how the large aerospace OEMs make carbon fibre parts with millions spend on automated fibre placement machines etc.

It was yourself made the carbon bonnet at home wasn't it?

We are currently "storing" a serious amount of aerospace carbon fibre cloth at present which is passed it date to be used in commercial flying planes but obv as its dry its perfect for making car parts etc. Its around £10,000 a roll and we have around 60 rolls of it which we are allowed to use around 6 rolls of it for ourselves. They are around 1.5 foot diameter and 2.5 meters long

Work has toyed with the idea of buying a resin injection machine, we also have facility to machine up to 4m by 2 meter mould tools made from tooling board so could make some nice interesting parts. Tho obv the first layer would need to be a nice weave as the aircraft cloth we have looks shite tbh.
