Only 8oz of resin for 2.5 sq ft of carbon fiber? What oz is the carbon fiber?

Doesn't seem like enough to wet it out and do some flood coats.

^ should be 5.6 oz.

I think including a small measuring cup would be nice too..

5.6 oz is correct. The kit is meant to make 1-2 small pieces (wraps).
There is enough resin in that respect.

And to be on the safe side most people including myself leave more than and inch border around the piece and then trim.

For proper wrap jobs with minimum voids you should be vacuum bagging. Brushing distorts the weave and creates air bubbles.


This would be good for some of you out there. It will teach you how much work carbon is. I hope you like sanding! haha

Brushing distorts the weave and creates air bubbles.

Will only be a problem if not gentle. And air bubbles can be eliminated with heat.

This brings up another good point. The method this kit uses is called "wet layup"
Thanks blitzceli for reminding me

will get shipping quotes soon. Need a few more definite buyers!
Got 5 kits made.
1 went out for testing in august.
1 will be donated for a raffle as a fundraiser for Chronic Kidney Disease.

3 are left. If I sold all 3 on here it barely covers costs and the vendor fee with no profit.
So I need to sell at least 6 kits to 100% definite buyers to make it worth my while at all.
More buyers are preferred.

Can't sell them yet until I become a vendor on here.
And I need to get more people interested before I decide to be a vendor or not.
