    Where have you guys been finding "carbon fiber cloth" to reinforce your hulls?

          I buy my supplies from here. Really good deals and I get it all in 1 shipment. Cost me $15 in shipping for epoxy resin, CF/KEVLAR 1X1 METER, MIXING CUPS AND STICKS.

            Looks like the place to call. I see they sell scraps, all I want to do is line the inside of my SV so I am hoping they can hook me up. Thanks for the info jj2003

              Not a problem. I bought a bunch of stuff from them to build both Fightercat's. Service was great although I caught them while they were moving to a bigger facility last summer. I had to wait about a week longer than normal, but the quality is worth the wait. Their polished sheet's of CF are awesome and the Epoxy resin mix is great to work with. They ended up giving me the mixing cups and sticks free for the inconvenience. Might not have been much but hey, I'll take anything for free!

                  I think I could get it for about half that and ship it to you in a tube! I get tube's all the time at work. Plus that's what they ship it to me in. PM me if your interested and I should be able to get you a price and a timeline. I shipped a ton of old Fisher Price stuff to Australia last year and shipping wasn't to bad. Or maybe order it direct from here to see if they ship oversea's. I'm pretty sure they give you a estimate on shipping before finalizing the order.
