		<description>I would recommend some familiarity with composite construction, like simple hand lay-up, before moving to infusion moulding.

This board was done without a mould, so basically you just shape the core material to the design you want, and then cover with the fibres (glass, kevlar, and carbon in this case). Spray-glue helps to keep the fabrics attached while working. After the reinforcements comes the peel-ply which distributes the air/resin, and then it all goes into the vacuum bag.

The bag needs to be sealed air-tight, and if you have sharp plastic tubes or other stuff inside you need to carefully look out for leaks while the resin is curing.

that&#039;s it, shouldn&#039;t be too hard if you&#039;ve just got the energy and enthusiasm to experiment a bit!</description>

		<description>That looks pretty interesting. Is it difficult?</description>
