first layers of carbon
At first I used some layers of carbon wattled tube. It´s against the torsion.
At the area of the screw I pulled away the carbon filaments and placed a little "tube" I made before. This way I do not need to drill a big hole there and effect the stiffnes in a bad way.
(head of screw with some tape ti mace the diameter a little bit wider)
As you can see, I wraped the edges of the carbon tube across the bar and the fork tube.
After all is satured with resin I wraped it with tear of tissure and tape
24h later
That´s not all

every time I pull it of it is like Christmas
Now it is time for the final top layer, but at first I need to sand of the folts (or you can fill them with some filler)
I made a carving pattern out of paper,...
...sprayed a sheet of carpon tissue with glue,...
...transfered the shape of the carving pattern and...
attached the carbon to the combo.
Now it is time for the epoxyd resin and some serious amount of tape
I know a manufacture who does it very simillar (positiv way of layup), but the big names will work with moulds (negative and pressure tube inside). With the moulds they have much better surfaces and they can reproduce on a higher level of "look a likes"...way to expensive for a me
