Ernie Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi Phil Try Carbon Mods on the WWW. They have starter kits with all the resin, cloth, even rubber gloves ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Have you looked here? Carbon Cloth Although I do have a small stock of Carbon cloth and Kevlar, I do not use it much. The reason being, I have found it difficult to work with. Particularly with Kevlar cutting with heavyweight industrial scissors is easy initially, then you find they you no longer can cut the material, they are goosed. If however you leave over size, cutting whilst green is not easy. When the resin has cured, sawing and other similar methods is frustrating due to rapidly blunted blades etc. The benefit however is virtually unbreakable moulded bodies and wings. I do know some people use these materials without problems, as they have the knowledge, the right gear and techniques. For a hobbyist such as me, a lot of bother.
