I'm still waiting on my quote for a professionally made CF tube.

I've found a place in Broadmeadow NSW ( FMS ) who can supply all the materials I need to do a DIYS CF tube including unidirectional and twill weave carbon fibre and 2 part epoxy or 2 part polyester resin.
They don't have any plain weave 3k CF cloth in stock.

I am considering the process shown in the attachment .... for making a 314mm OD x 1.27m x 1.6mm thick CF tube using epoxy resin.

The tube will be about 4kg mass.

..... how's that look ?

I've had someone at CN suggest using a layer of unidirectional CF cloth after I've done at least layer longitudinal unidirectional CF cloth. Thoughts anyone ?
