> 24 hourMy first order was forgotten, either way the second one was fulfilled quickly. The resin is no good. I ended up using gorilla glue epoxy instead and it works better. Good carbon though

> 24 hourThis is my first attempt to work with carbon fiber. I broke my bike frame (I fell of a trainer... Long story) so my frame was cracked (sounds like when you are bending wood). After some research, I found that my frame was repairable, but it was expensive ($500 to $800 quotes). After daydreaming with a new bike, I felt like I should give it a try and repair the frame. I love my bike (Fuji SST 1.3) so, I set aside time and begin to sand the area, to discover there was a hole in the frame (see picture), and a crack around the entire tube. Did some research on how to repair the frame, got me some sanding papers (get the 3m 80 if you want to speed up the process) and begin my journey. Word of advice, get some single blade or an Xacto blade-like, scissors are a bad idea as this carbon sheet its very flimsy. I mixed the hardener and resin equally or 1 to 1 (It was a guesstimate). With a 1.5 brush, I start applying the epoxy and 10 minutes later I glue the carbon sheet (keep mixing the expoxy or it will bee to hard), gave it a second top coat and with a plastic bag, I squeeze it all the air and tape the bag very tightly and leave it 24 hours (air-conditioned indoor). Next morning, I unwrapped the repair (see picture of a very corrugated repair) and with an 80 grain, started sanding all that. Then with a 240 started smooth things out until I got rid of the rough edges and it was smooth. Finished up with an 800 (or could be 600) and gave it a light epoxy coat with a 1.5 brush (do not reuse the brush) and there you have it. With less than $50 I repaired a frame that looks good and will serve me well for years to come.

> 24 hourThe epoxy by itself seems like it is not as strong as others Ive used, however still a VERY strong epoxy. Just make sure to rough up the surface and youll be all set. The epoxy is thin at first so will self-level and leaves a rather nice gloss on its own. The carbon is a bit tricky to use/lay however once you get the hang of it comes out great!. Multipurpose I use it for skis, bikes, wakeboards, and anything that chips, cracks, or peels really. Thickens up in about 45 minutes, dry to touch at 5+ hours, and said to cure in 24-48. One kit has carried me through over 10 small projects. great product, happy customer.

> 24 hourI like it and it is what I ordered, the only thing I don’t like is that tape around the carben sheet. I don’t see it serving any purpose.

> 24 hourIve repaired three cracked bike frames with one kit over the last year. Really great product. For those finding it tough to manage fraying when cutting the fabric: 1) Tape off the shape you need on the fabric with narrow making tape. 2) Cut out the rough piece by splitting the tape, saving more fabric for the next repair, and making it easier to handle the working piece. 3) Apply epoxy inside the taped area 4) Cut right along the edge of the tape for final shape. It will not fray, and if you handle carefully, will hold shape as you apply. Id recommend practicing with a small sample.
