I would like to reinforce the "floor" of my MC. I see some folks using carbon fiber cloth and resin. How about just epoxying a carbon fiber plate to the floor? Would that not work to provide strength and stiffnes just as well or better? Thinking 2mm.
CF reinforcment, cloth or plate?

Cloth is the way to go. Since it will conform better to everything it will provide more strength overall.42" Osprey, 32" Pursuit, 26" Bling Rocket (rescue), Blizzard Rigger, JAE 21FE rigger, Hobby King rigger (RIP) -

The finishing resin is whats recommended. I however use the Hobby King version due to its cheap price.
