I want to identify some carbon cloth. I’m repairing a carbon bike, Pinarello f8. The carbon is visible under clear coat so I’m after the exact same weave. I ordered some 1k plain weave but it’s not quite the same because it’s a loose weave (I can see lots of holes Holding up to the light). This looks like a very square and dense pattern, almost like spread toe. It’s about 7 picks percm and approx .2mm thick. Can anybody identify it? Picture below.

Makes me wonder what these pro bike repairs use?
