I'm starting to look into making my own molds and slowly start building out my 'bolt with CF pieces. Anyone that has experience doing this type of work I would greatly appreciate any advice they have to offer. I've done some fiberglassing but never tried my hand at CF/Kevlar. Has anyone tried making pieces using the CF/Kevlar hybrid fabrics? There are some REALLY nice color options available at a few different suppliers that I'm really interested in trying out. If anyone has any experience with this stuff I'd really appreciate a heads up one what the results look like and if there are any gotchas to it.

Composite Envisions (their website (http://compositeenvisions.com)) has some nice options on fabric hybrids. Not sure about the quality of their fabrics though so if anyone has used their stuff, let me know what you thought.
