Dammit!
Last night I laminated a fiber rear dropout in a epoxy mold and stuck some metal reinforcements. So today I checked and it was crap. The rear dropout didn't quite came out of the mold and it was so weak. It came apart and I even got my metal from it after some smashing and cracking.
S*** happens when ur a noob at anything right?! I think the fiber din't "bent" around the metal and some corners as it should so weak spot were created.

So I came up with the plan B, witch is less complicated and sounds stronger as this time I will wrap the fiber around metal and bamboo and there will be no hard corners. Sorry to say u'll have to wait for the pictures for I'm late for some stuff right now and gotta go.
