Hey thanks in advance for any support, I am wanting to make some large tube parts from chopped carbon fibre,4”/100mm OD just over a meter long with small bends at each end, nothing complex, I have the parts in powder coated stainless steel so I can make a mold, however I can’t damage these parts so no sanding etc. I haven’t bought the materials yet to make a mold or lay and cure the fibre i’ve just been waiting to confirm my process. I have a rough idea of what I need and a possible solution (split mold with vacuum infusion maybe?) however if anyone has a better idea or links to some resources i’d be glad to hear it. I would also be keen to hear some product suggestions, i’m located Qld australia so preferably stuff I can get in decent quantities and shipped easily/picked up locally. these parts aren’t highly structural so I was thinking a few layers of chopped fibre should hopefully do?
