The only place I've seen any instruction on laying up carbon fiber is on Vaclav's site in the builder's section. See #24b at this page: http://www.oneoceankayaks.com/Shop.htm#sdex

Good luck - sounds like you're going to be the resident expert one of these days!

: I have been searching all over, trying to find something -- anything -- on
: making carbon fiber paddles. Err, for kayaking, of course. But I turn up
: nothing. Surely some of you have laid up graphite blades. Any pointers on
: where to look, what to read, anything? I know practically nothing about
: working with carbon fiber, Kevlar, etc., but am eager to begin learning.
