The carbon cloth is laid into a mold and \u003cb\u003eliquid resin is manually brushed or poured\u003c\/b\u003e over it before curing. Because it’s not vacuum-bagged or autoclave-cured, there’s usually more trapped resin and air pockets, leading to a heavier part and a less uniform finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight \u0026amp; Strength\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDry carbon fiber is roughly \u003cb\u003e30–50% lighter\u003c\/b\u003e than wet carbon.
