Hi Troy,
I did it in several stages. First I used a strip of cloth that was long enough to make 3 layers. When the epoxy had set, I painted on a bit more epoxy, and when that set too I skimmed the surface on the lathe to even out irregularities. After that I laminated one more layer of carbon fibre, followed by more epoxy build-up and skimming. The wall thickness is about 1.5mm.
Cheers,
Stefan
