Hi All,
As some of you may have noticed, we added a new very special offer to our website last Friday which was our new 'Black Stuff' carbon fibre cloth. There's plenty of information about the product on the
Black Stuff - Cheap Low Cost Carbon Fibre
product page but basically what we've done is identify that there are lots of occasions where a more basic spec carbon fibre might be all that's needed and so we looked into what the lowest possible price such a cloth could be made for. What we came up with is a fibre that we can sell direct to customers at £10/sqm for a 10m roll or £9/sqm for a 100m roll. I think I can say with confidence this price has never been offered for this quantity, in the UK or across Europe.
The reason for the post is not really to promote the material, it's flying off the shelves and our first batch will be gone soon without my help but what I did want to do is see if anyone had used it yet and had any feedback on it or if anyone had any questions about it. It's easier to discuss these things in a thread than individually with customers
.
If you have used the fibre, let me know what you thought. To offer it at half the normal price clearly we have to compromise a bit and I'm interested to know what people think. Also, if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.
Best regards, Matt
