Boring safety note
I have the pleasure of acting as a consultant engineer to a carbon fibre manufacurer, so obviously I know nowt about it. But what i do know, is that certain compounds used in the manufacturing process are highly (as in deadly for some of em) toxic, carcinogenic,respiratory irratants and damn bad for your health if breathed in, ingested through the skin etc. So if you going to muck around cutting cf, wear a mask, keep you skin covered and be careful brushing up residues. I didnt last year when i was reshaping some of my fairing panels and got awfull cf rash on arms and hands. It makes fibreglass rash seem insigificant.
