Good Carbon but extremely frayed!

11 years ago
Purchased the carbon from JD because of the amazing reviews saying how pristine looking the carbon was. Dont get me wrong, great price and a great product, but considering I bought this for a show cause and not a structural, I am rather dissapointed. I spent hours removing imperfections about an inch long over the entire piece, and I didnt get it all out. Not was I was hoping for.

Excellent Product

15 years ago
I have tried numerous Carbon fiber suppliers from around the world including Japanese and Italian made Carbon fiber. By far Jamestown distributors carries the best Carbon fiber in terms of strength to weight ratio and price. This carbon fiber twill weave is excellent for infusion. The weave isn't to tight and isn't to loose. [@]

Very good deal!

I use thiss CF in speedboards, and it's really good. The fibers are nice, and the finished result is very good looking and stiff. I'm not very used to carbonfiber, so i messed ut the twill direction a little bit the first time. The cloth is easy to apply, and leaves a strong surface. I use the cloth in vacuumbags with foam molds.

Carbon Fiber Review

17 years ago
I have a large amount of experience in composite materials and I have to say this carbon fiber is the best material I have used. The carbon weave is tight and uniform throughout the entire piece. There were no scars or marks anywhere on the carbon fiber. The material was pristine and the packaging was great. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Great Quality

I use this in race cars and on show cars. The weave retention is great, and is very consistant, having no permanent flaws. It molds well and isnt as brittle as the cheaper carbon from other sources. Overall, it is a really good product.

Q: I have enough cf for the job, but need to juggle the pieces to cover the whole area. If I have to join pieces of carbon fiber, what guidelines would you use to decide where to make the cuts? How much overlap? And what do you do with the tough greenish thread that holds the edges of the 2__quote__ tape in place?

A: Hi Tom. thanks for the info. Am only using a single layer of 5.7 oz carbon twill with a layer of s-glass over it. Weight is the issue. This is going over Divinycell, with fiberglass underneath the composite. All the videos seem to use a single sheet, and I wondered how cut edges would look cosmetically, and if the carbonfiber strength would be compromised. If so, the direction and position of those cuts would be an issue worth investigating. I'm building a flight case with some curves.

Q: Good day. I'm planning to build my own fishing boat, about 50' ft length and made of carbon fiber. A trimaran type of fishing boat. My question is what type of carbon fiber should I use for the hull? outrigger? and some other part. Thank you very much...

A: 50 foot really! Wow, I would ask this question to the north west school of wooden boats you can look it up on the Internet. They would know all the engineering of what type and tensile strength carbon fiber and fiberglass you would need.with that size of boat I wouldn't trust information from anyone but professionals Sirius professionals.

Q: How thick is this cloth and is it suitable as a work table-top protector?

11 years ago
2 Answers

A: Material is .012__quote__ thick. As far as the table top protection... this depends more on the epoxy for protection than the carbon fiber. It would certainly work if properly applied and would look great.

Q: How thick is this material? Will it conform to a mold with inside corners that have a .063__quote__ radius?

12 years ago
1 Answer

A: I find that this carbon fiber fabric is similar in thickness to 7-8 ounce fiberglass, but not as nimble. Being the weave is wider then 1/16th inch, you would need to set it on the bias for an inside radius like that, unless you have the means to press it into shape (a vacuum bag would be perfect). Hope this helps.
