DIY carbon fibre

[imdying]

So I found a rotary compressor from a fridge, works a treat... pulls nearly as good a vacuum as the real deal (vacuum pump). The difference between the two is insignificant in this application (i.e. pulls down to over 29", it's only microns worth of difference we're talking about). Also have a vac switch to turn it on and off, a thermostat to turn the oven and venting on and off. Experimented with a couple of techniques found a few things that improved surfacing and reduce bridging. Also tried the Duratec surfacing primer for finishign plugs with... magic stuff, worth every cent.

Without being able to ride my bike and no commitments, I've got a fair bit of time on my hands now and am considering giving Carbon Fibre fabricating a bit of a nudge. I remember watching a YouTube video on how to do it (maybe before my accident not sure) and it does look a little involved but I was wondering what you guys thought.

• Had a go and found it too difficult?
• Materials just too expensive/hard to obtain?
• Have a garage to do this in, but not a huge amount of space... problem?
• Watch more YouTube vids to learn how, or maybe a book?

Thought I would start with something simple like some heal-guards, ultimately nothing more serious than a hugger, or front-guard I think.

Thoughts?

would also be keen if someone in welly has experiance and wants to teach a noob. I may come in handy should your arms get ripped off!
