Strong, easy to wet out, but expensive

We've used this 0-90 and the uni for a variety of projects. It works well. We used both for this custom buzzards bay 25, ""Skylark"" built at NEB in Portsmouth RI. We used MAS epoxy as well. I'd recommend using carbon when you are looking for a very light and stiff part. Be careful, sometimes using carbon can make your part too stiff. JD does a good job having a variety of carbon products in stock. if you are not sure what you need, call them and talk to them about what you're trying to do.

Q: If I buy 5 yards of the carbon fiber cloth with it be one continuous piece or cut in to yard sections

A: One continuous piece.

Q: Hi, I have some small rust areas on a vintage car that I've cut out and want to fix with epoxy and carbon fiber cloth/tape. I don't need a wide piece, tape 2__quote__-3__quote__ would be preferred. Do you have anything (carbon fiber) I could use other than this fabric?..thanks
9 years ago1 Answer
A: It looks like Jamestown has West system carbon fiber tape up to 3 inch width: (< a href=__quote__http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=1443&familyName=WEST+System+Carbon+Fiber+Tape.__quote__ target=__quote___blank__quote__>http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=1443&familyName=WEST+System+Carbon+Fiber+Tape.< /a> However, since your weight savings will not be significant on a metal auto panel, I would use fiberglass. It is cheaper and should provide equivalent strength.

Q: Is this cloth water proof, and if it is can you tell me were to get some that isn't water proof?
11 years ago1 Answer
A: The carbon fiber cloth is a loose weave of flat ribbon like threads of carbon fiber in a weave pattern (kind of like an old lawn chair). Somewhat like fiberglass cloth. The water proof question confuses me somewhat. In its raw state there are air gaps that fluid or air could pass through. But in use a resin in applied making the cloth rigid and strong and very water proof once the resin cures. It can be applied in layers along with fiberglass cloth for different appearance and strength characteristics.

Q: I'm repairing my carbon fiber kayak. A section of seam where the combing attaches to the deck is split. I have to go around a 90 degree bend. I want to match the dark fiber of the combing, but am concerned that carbon fiber may not be flexible enough to make the corner. Are my concerns valid? If so, do you have another product that would work better and still retain the dark color of the carbon weave?

A: CF should be fine, it wets-out nicely and is more pliable than fiberglass around tight radius areas.

Q: what is the resistance per square inch ?
11 years ago2 Answers
A: if you're referring to electrical resistance, 3k plain weave CF typically has an in-plane resistivity of 0.020 ohm-cm, or 0.00787 ohm-inches. Again, this is in the plane of the fabric and keep in mind that the resistivity along 0/90 will be different than at 45 degrees. If you want a higher resistivity look to mat instead of woven. Thermal resistivity is trickier because it depends on the resin. Adding graphite powder to the resin will greatly increase thermal conduction. If you really want to get technical, here's a master's thesis on thermal conductivity in composites from a MAE student at WVU: http://wvuscholar.wvu.edu:8881//exlibris/dtl/d3_1/apache_media/L2V4bGlicmlzL2R0bC9kM18xL2FwYWNoZV9tZWRpYS8yMDk0Nw==.pdf

Q: I want to build a foot brace. I have made one from fibreglass but need to have the stiffness and strength in a thinner material so can be worn inside shoe. Suggestion?
12 years ago2 Answers
A: I do cars and use carbon fiber. Unfortunately it is easy to burr with scissors which probably wouldn't matter to you. However, TAPE is by far the easiest to work with. Since Jamestown does not offer 4__quote__ wide carbon fiber, I would get the minimum order of Kevlar Tape 4__quote__ and crisscross it for a total of four layers. If you don't have enough stiffness. add lengthwise until you do. Use epoxy. Carbon fiber will do but you'll end up with __quote__splinters__quote__. Roger

Q: can i use this to make a jetski hull? If not, what? I am looking to shed some weight on my pwc or parts of it. thanks, Dan
12 years ago1 Answer
A: I used this matrieal to build Kayak braces and rudder assembly. I used West Systems epoxy. It would have to be layered up or used in combination with fiberglass clorth to obtain the desired thickness and strenght. By substituing carbon fiber for fiberglass a lot of weight can be saved but but the same can't be said for money. Hope this helps.
