Default RE: Carbon/Kevlar hybrid Landing gear question

I'm thinking of ideas to cover the face of the mold with, because formica won't fill in that groove and bend to the shape of the gear. I was thinking of trying to put some monokote on the face. With the formica, it covers up some inperfections in the mold face and it gives a "best fit line" kind of thing, like when you clamp it the formica touches the other piece of fomica. So monokote might not work well if you don't get the mold face absolutely perfect. Let me know if you guys know what i meen, please. I think this could be a pretty good idea in making high strength gear.
