> 24 hourIt would have been better if the sellers noted the percentage carbon (and probably other elements) in the fiber. I had to call in on the company so as to ascertain this detail. Besides this, packaging was great and seems to have improved over time with respect to previous reviews.

> 24 hourThe packaging is great, the carbon is hemmed and protected. Other suppliers dont do this and can result in faulty carbon. Im all round happy with the product.

> 24 hourProduct showed up very well packaged, edges of the cloth were prepped with tape to prevent fraying resulting in a full usable sheet. Not one strand was out of place

> 24 hourYou could poke your finger through this stuff, its such a loose weave. And there was tape on the sides of my fabric that when i pulled them off it badly frayed and distorted the fabric.

> 24 hourLike the other reviewer said, due to the severely frayed edges, its not 12 wide of usable cloth. Id say its more like 10.5 to 11 inches of usable width, which was fine for what I needed. This was very easy to wet out (West Systems 105/205 for me), and did not fray nearly as much as I thought it would while I was working around the already frayed edges. Would gladly order again, but its a shame the manufacturer isnt able to cut it more cleanly or do something to keep the edges from unravelling so much during the manufacturing/packing process for this width.

> 24 hourI built new body panels for a mini bike I built years ago .The two part epoxy is a pain to work with but the cloth is nice!

> 24 hourIm relatively new at working with carbon fiber but happy with the way it wetted out when I applied epoxy over the layers on my sample. Because of its color, wetting it with epoxy isnt as easy to see as with fiberglass but I like the properties of carbon.

High quality, aerospace grade carbon fiber cloth. Our 12" x 50" roll is great for small projects or repairs.
- Carbon fiber is one of the strongest materials known to man. While diamonds take the record for hardness the king of composites regarding strength and ease of use goes to carbon fiber.
- While carbon fiber is more expensive than fiberglass, it requires fewer layers to get the same strength, which also results in savings on epoxy and time to manufacture a part. Those savings help offset the higher cost of carbon fiber when compared to the cost of fiberglass.
- Our carbon fiber cloth is the highest quality and woven in the USA.
It"s now easier than ever to make your own incredibly strong and lightweight parts from this space age material.

Beautiful finishCarbon fiber gives a beautiful finish to any part. Although there are many vinyl wraps on the market, nothing compares to the visual depth you get from the real thing. |
Taped edges prevent frayingEach piece is carefully taped and cut to ensure clean edges and rolled to prevent wrinkles or creases so your finished part looks clean and smooth. |
Comes in protective, reusable tubeEach piece comes carefully rolled in a plastic protective tube which can be reused to store parts or fasteners. |
Cuts easily with standard scissorsA sharp pair of scissors is all that"s required to get a clean cut. Avoid dragging the fibers as you cut. Let the scissors do the work. A rotary cutter can also be used. |
