    I was given a can of spray adhesive from the local carbon fibre chap when I was having a beer with him and asking silly questions.
    This made life bit easier with getting the carbon cloth in all the wee corners.
    I was a bit rough at some point with the cloth and loosened the weave up on some areas. Oops.

    I put in 2 layers of carbon cloth for the body and 4 layers around the grip/wrist area.
    As I don't have a proper vacuum pump I used a big clothes storage bag. Layer of peel ply over the carbon, bleeder fabric then bagged up the whole mould.

    This is the point I'll leave you waiting for the next instalment.
    Those who live in glass houses, shouldn't piss off Geologists.
