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

Matt,

Hi John,

Sure, the fabric is woven in 100m rolls (which is normal for a 200g cloth). We sell the fabric in 100m rolls and 10m rolls. When we sell a 10m roll, we create the roll on a 'rolling machine' which is just a simple automated machine for rolling off the master roll and accurately measuring onto another roll. We set the machine to 10m and it will measure off exactly a 10m roll (plus 40mm extra for the 'tape line').
