Pedro Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hey guys, Looking to delve into making some carbon fibre stuff, does anyone have any links or know some suppliers that can provide the carbon sheets and/or resin to do the job? Having trouble finding any companies (US or in oz that advertise these materials). Any help or links to contacts appreciated. cheers! Quote Link to comment

Pedro Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks for all the links guys, very helpful. Now I've been trying to find some good videos on how the whole process comes together... There is a few small ones on youtube for making cello and also some motorbike guys doing small faring stuff, but does anyone know any good videos for sale that give a pretty decent how-to for making moulds etc? On ebay in the US there is a guy selling a set of dvds for $75, but wants $60 US for shipping to australia (fark that). Quote Link to comment
