Question Fiberglassing vs. Carbon Fibering?

just wondering beside materials ofcourse, what the diffrence in the process and whatnot is?

i know that CF is stronger and lighter then FG. i was wondering because i'd like to use CF instead to save a little weight and i could make the frame more of a skeleton frame. plus CF is so much cooler then FG

is it the same procedure? just alot of buffering and polishing on the outside finish?

for carbon fiber you use epoxy resin. epoxy resin allows you to see through it better. it is stronger but more expensive... a lot more expensive. a lot of people use fiberglass for main layers, and then some spray the fiberglass part black and then lay down the carbonfiber so they dont need to lay so many layers of carbon fiber down. ive never worked with carbon fiber. because i dont want to mess up with something so expensive...
