Got my kit, wanted to take out the CF to look at it. The first note I have is how fragile the weave is. It starts to come a part VERY easy.

I'll be making the mold tonight and am basically just going to take an insane amount of time putting the first layer of CF on when I do so that the twill weave looks right and not deformed.

After playing with it, I have no clue how you would do this with large pieces like hoods. I imagine there is just some amount of play in the weave you have to expect. How little there is probably determines the skill of the person making it.

Anyways I'll take pics and keep you guys updated.
