Hello all,

I've been lurking here for quite a while in awe of the wonderful work and knowledge exchanged here. I'm a traditional kit and ARF builder/assembler, but for quite a while, I've wanted to try my hand at composites. I'd like to start trying stuff in the near future, but I do have a few questions.

[ul][*] What would be a good plug candidate to practice creating a mold and doing manual layups with?[*] What role does a oven/heated enclosure play in laying up composites? Does it benefit fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon, etc ... [*] What safety gear should be used when working with composites, e.g. dust masks/respirators, latex/nirtile/poly gloves, blowers/filters etc ...
[/ul]

Thanks in advance,

Jorden
