Im looking to have a small piece of CF made, not 100% sure of the dimensions yet, but probably no bigger than 2.5"X4" or so. Id like to make it flat with curved edges, and have it finished nice. Anyone know of anybody that can do that, and what kind of price would I be looking at? Thanks for any help!:thumbup

I LOL’D hardcore reading this out loud.

But in all SRSNS, make a foam mold then put some aluminum foil over it, place your carbon fabric over it, apply the resin and vacuum bag it. (Just the general method, there’s a bit more to it than what I’ve stated, I’m sure you’re aware.)

I have never worked with it either, but it can’t be too difficult. Just don’t let the resin cure before you need it too (or mix too much hardener with the resin).
