"How to" Fiberglass & Carbon Fiber

Does a "how to"/"DYI" exist either on this forum or elswhere on how to mold products with either Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber sheets? I have a few ideas for a few products that I would like to try and create for our 8's. Also, what are the pros and cons on using fiber vise carbon?

There are tons of tutorials online. I'll help if you have any specific questions regarding fiberglassing. It isn't something you can just pick up overnight though. It takes a lot of practice to get good at it, and if you use good materials it can be kind of expensive.

You might find this web site a little helpful.....at least for making speaker boxes.

Hey X,

I met you a couple of weeks ago at the Mazdz club meeting. I've dabbled some with fiberglass fabrication and would like to learn more about it myself. I'd also be interested in seeing what you have in mind. Let me know if you need any help.
