: I'm considering a CF coaming on my upcoming kayak. However, after
: this project I won't be needing more. Can I buy CF in small
: quantities, or is this usually just available by roll?
If you just want the black color, tint regular fiberglass. If you need the strength, use another layer of regular fiberglass. We know from experience that regular fiberglass is strong enough to do the job.
Buying small quantities of carbon fiber is the most expensive way to get it. No bulk discount, no free shipping. You can buy a yard from www.fibreglast.com, or www.defender.com. That should be all you'll need; but will it be worth paying over $40 for this?
