However, it would be more than possible to make very good products with just CF weave on a roll - if you all ready have the moulds and resin infusion kit.
Just a thought, because I think that would be really really cool.
There is a company near me that sells all of the gear to do it too (vacuum pump etc. etc.) and no need to be able to heat it up either.
Good luck with the venture ..... sounds awesome
Another benefit to resin infusion is that you can use much less resin and make the parts lighter as a result compared to wet lay.

There is a down side to using carbon fibre.....it costs a damn fortune and unless down right it looks awful.
