Just like you do fiberglass. Yes, you use the same epoxy.

Here is some photos:

1st: Is of 5oz woven carbon fibre.

2nd: Is of both 5oz, left is carbon, on the right is kevlar.

3rd: Is on the left , carbon/nylon hybrid (5oz) and the right is carbon/Kevlar hybrid (5oz)

All are good with epoxy resin, but they are all VERY expensive..... between AUD$70 to $120 per metre !!!!!![]
