We actually use Ebalta Porenversiegler instead of epoxy since it dries up immediately, speeds up processing time and it 1k not 2K, suggested this before too, not sure if you saw my comment

I want to study carbon fiber and composite materials. Is it a good career because I have a dream of making my own company which manufactures carbon fiber parts for automotive and boats. Am I making the right decision? For starters are there jobs after I finish my course and how do they pay?

If it's not a high load part, could it be done with thermoplastics? heatshaped and melted closed. Transparents for easy inspection. No bolts, no seals.

We have actually been discussing the pros and cons of a thermoformed version of the fuel sump tank. Thermoforming would offer some manufacturing benefits!

@@DarkAeroInc I worked with clear polycarbonate once, just 1mm thick it can take quite a beating. Solid seal and a few folds here and there it's quite rigid. And transparent has a certain charm. Could maybe even be inspectable in flight. Although a fuel sump is a bit of a mystery to me. It should just be the tiniest vessel connecting two lines. Why the extra container. Either you have fuel or you don't. A container along the way only adds complexity.

Would 3D printing be a suitable option to make the mold?

it is, especially if the piece is made with a wet layup process.
