Be careful!!!!!! if you don't put enough Carbon to take all the load in it's own right, you run the risk of it breaking, and then transferring the load to the timber that it is laminated with. and if you've scrimped on the timber it'll break as well CRASH!!!!!!!! Use either one or the other. And which ever you use USE enough of it to carry the load.
