I was interested in using carbon because it the greater rigidity over the glass. I would of thought that too many layers would be needed in fiberglass to gain enough rigidity for something like a bonnet. Basicly I dont want to be afraid of someone sitting on my bonnnet and damaging it, giving me no choice but to hurt them. However the foam idea should take care of that, I will definelty look into it.

So whats vinyl ester? I have never heard of it.


leigh: thanks I will give them a call.


One other thing, how would you guys sujest I make a composite bonnet? my idea was to make an inverse mould directly off the original in multiple layers of fiberglass mixed with all sorts of things to keep it rigid, like thin bits of wood. Then from there use that to make a copy of the original and go from there. Would this work or am I being nieve? I have so far only used crude moulds and never a negaive one, although I am pretty happy with my results so far. I think fiberglass is horrible to work with but can really have some amazing results. I have for ages though I would make a bonnet out of lighter than one of carbon, that would open a few eyes.
