Well we have a thread poster that apparently knows more about composite engineering than the folks at for example Spencer Composites.
I have some tubes in my garage that I made without an autoclave and cured at room temp. Wet lay up.
One layer 5 oz CF/kevlar cloth, one layer baltek mat and one layer of CF/kevlar on the inside. Epoxy resin.
Just tightly wrapped and cured at room temp-- did not even use my vac bag rig.
One of these tubes is less than 1/8 thick and less than two inches in diameter. A 200 pound person can stand on this tube. As expected.
