NP...I have some experience with laying up vacuum bagged glider wings with carbon fiber and glass along with some in kevlar.Also a few self made parts for various projects utilizing CF and glass using foam as the mold substrate .
I can't stress enough the importance of heat during the post cure for nice crisp parts.I recently made a nice thick ~3/16" CF sheet to cut a turn fin bracket out of for my predator rigger and forgot to turn on the lamps in the curing box.The result was an apparently cured part that was so soft it could be readily twisted out of shape by relatively gentle pressure.Your resin of choice should come with recommendations regarding curing temps.
You'll find that by cutting your material at a 45 deg bias it will go around corners more readily
