Do you mean pre-made strip or raw unidirectional carbon strip?
In terms of pre-made strip we have our
Carbon Fibre Strip
in a range of sizes but it doesn't seem to be commonly used by bowmakers in our experience.
A lot of bowmakers are hand laminating thier own layup using mostly Uni-directional Carbon fibre such as our
Carbon Fibre Unidirectional 250g
with a woven fabric such as our
ProFinish Carbon Fibre 2/2 Twill
for the outer faces of the laminate for cosmetic and overall all round strength. The ProFinish version is used because it tends to stay in one piece when cut into thin strips where as normal woven cloth is very hard to keep together. Resin wise most seem to be happy with our
EL2 Epoxy Laminating Resin
.
The specifics of the layup seem to differ based on each bowmakers preference, some using mostly carbon, others using a mix of carbon and wood laminates, others using mostly wood and carbon purely for cosmetic reasons.
