There's a website called http://www.fibreglast.com that has carbon fiber, carbon/kevlar hybrids (in 3 colors), and a black fiberglass twill weave that looks just like carbon but is a lot cheaper! They also sell resins, gel coats and spray equipment.

They have an online learning center where you can download free brochures about fiberglass fabrication and they also offer a free product catalog.

If your interested in custom fiberglass fabrication or just fiberglass repair for your Honda, I'd highly recommend checking this site out!

Great info but I see a ban coming

 

fiberguy posting a helpful link to anyone interested in fiberglass products. Something smells phishy!

 

I smell some rotten resin

LOL! Fibreguy is in Ohio and the company he linked us to is in Ohio...hmm

 

haha, but this webpage is just about common knowledge for the composite beginners. its easy to find their site. either way, i dont think it should be a ban. he is just stating what they can help folks that are interested in composites. he didnt say anything about pricing or anything.

 

I think this would be a better place for this post:

agreed

 

nice first post fibreguy I can tell your dedicated to the site

 

I found the post useful. With the massive shortage on CF it is good to know there is an alternative out there.

Honestly, I really don't think there was anything wrong with the post since it's more informative than anything (at least that seemed like the initial intent). I would just prefer someone to be up front and say they work with or for the company. Either way, nice site.

 

That's cool then...if noone else has a problem why should I...let it roll.

Can't wait to see his upcoming posts over the next week or so Sounds like the guy is really into helpin others out, not just frontin the business. Good deal

I'd love to see more writeups online about composites, wet layup, etc. Can't wait for a thread about it from this guy...sounds like there is alot of knowledge to offer.


On a side note, given this shortage and all, whats my 27 ft roll of 12kx12k twill weave carbon in my closet worth? Carbonall?

 

hell yeah, a detailed right up on fiberglass or carbon would rock, that **** baffles me

 

hmm.. well he is the owner of that composites forum. I really don't anticipate him making many more posts. It is a good forum for beginners! How wide is your 12x12

 

12x12 is a square foot. Just get 2 rulers and make a 7 which is not much unless doing small projects. Over in cali we get carbon fiber sheeting 12inch by 3ft for 14 and change. Does fiberguy have pricing in that site?

LOL, I think everyone knows what a square foot consists of but that isn't what we're talkiiing about here. 12k x 12k refers to the size or number of filaments in each bundle of fibers X 1000. If its 50" wide material you are probably looking at a real value of $35-$42 per linear yard X 9 yards if you have 27 feet of it. Buy it from Fiberglast and they want $69 per yard for non cert 2x2 twill carbon fabric. The good news is the price goes down to $54 per yard if you buy 10 yards

hahaha, funny post. but supposedly, talking to a big composites company in rockhill, their cf supply is getting better, and costs less than before. the shortage is almost over guys. haha

 

I'm starting to notice some movement as well after watching all this first hand over the last few years. As soon as these new carbon fiber manufacturing plants start to pop online in 2007-2008 I think there will be a glut of material and prices will fall. I hope the nightmare is coming to an end

 

I will do a dance the day I pay the same prices in carbon I did 3 years ago!

 

Me too!

 

JUST announced!!! Mitsuibishi composites will be adding more to there already in construction carbon tow manufacturing facility. in 2008 they will be producing 5 times more then they were in the past!
