In Response To: Material: Carbon Fiber Prepreg (Charles T)

: I have a supply of Carbon Fiber Prepreg for sale if anyone wants
: it. This is prepreg so it can't be used in the manner used by
: most of the builders of kayaks, but if someone wanted to build
: high end hulls or maybe paddles, this could be a very good deal.
: I'll try to answer questions, but I'll say now, if you don't yet
: know what prepreg is, you probably do not want to buy. This
: would not work on a woodstrip hull as a replacement for wet
: layup fiberglass. Also, material must be stored at 0 deg F,
: though can be kept at 70F for approx 2-3 weeks. (for shipping
: and use)

: Details:
: - 36" width
: - 6k T800 Fiber
: - toughened epoxy resin system
: - 350 F cure
: - plain weave fabric
: - Out of spec (old) but still good
: - about .6 lbs/linear yard

: Cost: $10/yd for a full roll plus shipping from Pacific Northwest.
: (a 60lb/100yd roll is less than $100 to pretty much everywhere
: in the continental US) Price could be negotiable if interested
: in the material quickly...

: Can also sell partial rolls at higher per lb price.

: If interested, email carbonprepreg@gmail.com.

: Thanks
: -Charles

: **PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS PREIMPREGNATED FABRIC AND NOT DRY CARBON**

: P.S. I'm not just spamming, I used to actively haunt the forums and
: I built a Guillemot L about 6 years ago…. I would give it a
: good bit of credit for my current career path in composite
: materials. Also built a Yost Folder, which I see have become
: very popular on the forums…. I'd love to build a yost folder
: with carbon frames and stringers, but that's not a project
: coming too soon.

I wish I still had a place to store it and the oven still to cure it. No place to put either right now . That's a great price.
