Default My new panel

Here is a photo of my new carbon fiber panel. It is prepreg carbon fiber. It is very light and strong. I still have a few parts to make.

Default CarbonFiber

Goeff,
What kind of release paper did you use? It looks like you dulled the sheen down a bit. Looks great!

The finish in the tool was only taken to a 600 grit paper. We did not polish the tool yet. If someone wants it shinny we would clear coat the part.
