from fiberglast--"Graphite fibers contain up to 95% carbon and yield the highest tensile strength in the FRP industry. These fibers woven together form carbon fiber fabric. These fabrics offer higher strength and stiffness-to-weight ratios than any other commonly available reinforcements. While there are hundreds of types to choose from, we have selected three styles of standard modulus carbon fiber which are suitable for use in racing, aircraft, competition marine, and light industrial applications.

To maximize the fiber properties we recommend using only epoxy or vinyl ester resin , although polyesters will bond to the fabrics. Pre-weigh the fabric before use, and mix only the same weight resin for laminating. This will encourage low or proper resin content within the part. Our experience has also proven that a flexible rubber squeegee is the most effective applicator for distributing the resin."




not etched in stone, but definately a good goal to aspire to. these materials while not so cutting edge and secret anymore, are very expensive

and it is in our best interest to be efficient and not waste any if at all possible.

and hello to everyone again
