HI Matt

I used my Black stuff in an infusion. Very pleased with it.

Another vote from me for Blackstuff 450g/mtr for the future.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the feedback. On the basis of what people have said we've got more 200g in production and your comments add weight to the call for a heavier weight version too so I'll start looking into that too.

All the best, Matt

I've recently used this for a few parts too.  The weave blemishes are over stated in the description as it really is rather good.  I've found one or two slight pulls but most of the blemishes seem to be sightly tight tows and the blemish is very minor.  It is just like regular 200g cloth.  I'm making car panels which will be painted so its ideal for me. 

I would also add a vote for a heavier material.  I buy 650g from ECF which is great.  Anything similar would be awesome.

Thanks FLD, vote duly noted Smile. On the 650g front, we've always stocked and sold a very nice 650g 2/2 Twill 12k Carbon Fibre but I'm certainly now looking into getting a Black Stuff version of the cloth too.

Hi,

Yes, I do - approximately. We should have a significant amount of Black Stuff available around 8th January. I know it's a little while off but this really does have to be manufactured exactly when the time is right (material surplus, spare capacity on looms etc.).

Kind regards, Matt

Just as an extra bit of feedback...

Mine came wrapped in brown paper rather than the usual bubble wrap.  The smoothness of the paper makes it easier to get in and out of the cardboard box (I store mine in the box) and its much easier to open.  IMO this is far better than the bubble wrap.  It might be one to consider for all your deliveries??

Thanks for the feedback FLD. Actually, we have trialled that packing method for all our fabrics and feedback (and our own opinion) was split between though that favour the brown paper and those that favour the bubblewrap. Generally, I'm on the bubblewrap side which is why that's what we normally use but it is interesting to hear your feedback, and that of others, which of course informs our opinions and decision on things such as this.

Yes, we do. Material will be with us on or around the 16th of January (so this Friday). Lots of demand again by the looks of it but we have good stocks, initially anyway.
