It should be noted that I have prepared almost all decks for the formation of carbon.
But at the last moment my mind woke up and told me not to do anything really big and expensive.
So I decided to make random part from fiberglass and polyester resin.
And later it was right, need more practice to get a satisfying result (no bubbles inside, less resin as possible, etc).
My material has russian documentation. But anyway I have to paste here TDS. This a photo of lables from bottles of resin and hardener.
I cut the matrix from MDF. Process you can see in the photo below.
To reduce adhesion, I applied a surface primer and mold release.
Preparing to work with the materials.
Matrix is fixed on the sacrificial table, and provided with vacuum connection.
Strips of fiberglass are laid into the matrix.
And on top of the matrix the vacuum film is laid.
A few photos of the installation when item was forming.
And the result!
Plans for the future:
To get more experience with composites;
To create a carbon housing for the remote control stick;
To create a carbon housing for the electronics under the deck;
To create a carbon deck.
