Hi all

Does anyone know how/where to get hold of this fabric or is it only available to industry users in bulk?

If so, does EC have any future  plans to add a spread tow fabric to the range with a resin binder akin to Profinish?

It does work well. It's perhaps not quite as stable as the epoxy bound Textreme, but it's enough to allow you to cut it neatly and handle it without it falling apart. 

If you need it to be really stable so you can make intricate cuts etc. then the best thing to do is apply spray adhesive to the b-side and then place a second layer on top of that, either regular carbon or spread-tow or even just fibreglass. That will be very stable, but you'll lose a lot of conformability.
