General rule is weight of carbon fiber == weight of epoxy resin solution.

aeropoxy epoxy resin solution = 100 parts epoxy, 27 parts hardener.

Other notes:

  • Bends and complex curves have a higher chance of introducing air bubbles which will stop the epoxy from flowing into that particular area. This leads to small dents/holes/dry spots once the epoxy is cured. Air bubbles are almost unavoidable because small air particles will enter the resin as you are mixing it with the hardener.

    • To avoid air bubbles you can:

      • de-gas your resin using a vacuum chamber

      • let the epoxy mixture sit for longer (but you will need a longer pot life)
