[QUOTE="Revvv, post: 16131398, member: 189537"] You will more than likely end up building the box several times in order to create a mold. The hardest part about carbon fiber is in laying the cloth out, and then adding an even coat of resin. In order to remove air pockets and bubbles, and to keep the fiber cloth from wrinkling or deforming, a vacuum process is used. You can get away with mistakes using fiberglass. Gel coat, primer, and eventually paint will cover the part. Carbon fiber is normally cleared and the fiber weave is left exposed. Every mistake is seen. I have built a few small things out of carbon fiber. It is a tedious process that gives a beautiful reward in finished product.
