Building the carbon fiber cockpit







First, I used minicell foam to be used as a form. The form was shaped to comform to the deck with 50 grit sandpaper.  As a mold release, I used saran wrap.  The cockpit was built with one layer of 4 oz fiberglass, one layer of carbon fiber, two layers of fiberglass, another layer of carbon fiber, and a final layer of 4 oz fiberglass.  I removed the cockpit lip and used thicken epoxy to re-install permanently.
