I'll do my best.
Can go with how it was explained to me....the process is similar to fiberglass. There, to fabricate a FB article, a mold is usually required, for that a plug is needed, a representation of finished article, in size and shape (Pluglast- plug made from wood,filler and spray) once plug is complete, take a mold (Fairingmold3.jpg) Lay up (Build up composite layers, FB = around 1mm of gelcoat, then layers of glass and polyester resin) in finished mold for an article.
CF though doesnt generally like corners, there is a method that can sometimes work, ie, apply epoxy, leave to go sticky, then add cloth, and more epoxy.
The more preferred method is vacuum bagging, which draws all air, and sometimes pulls resin through cloth.
Most surfaces need release wax to prevent sticking, when laying up, although the laminated wood is usually non stick, but to be on safe side give a couple of coats.
With bagging and oven, the panels weigh approx a third lighter than DIY.
If remember correctly, the ratio with CF is 55% Cloth-45% Epoxy, for best strength, so CF ya squeeze, FB ya saturate.
Glass transition temperature (The
Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) is one of the most important properties of any epoxy and is the
temperature region where the polymer
transitions from a hard, glassy material to a soft, rubbery material.) is sometimes a concern, so there are a variety of resins for various apps.
The How its made, feature alot of pre-impregnated cloth

My efforts are basic, and require no real skills, nor specialised equipment, like ovens and bagging.
The laminated wood provides a great surface to create sheets of CF that can cut with hacksaw and bond together. Use paddle roller
