    Carbon Fiber Hull, Miss Geico

    So i ordered carbon fiber sheet from Kintec and got it yesterday, i went to cut it in the size i need and it just frays, any tricks on how to lay this stuff down. i have worked with fiberglass before with big boats but this stuff looks tricky. I am just doing this for looks basically, not really worried about added weight. Any advise would help. thanks

    You can use scotch tape to cut the CF so it wont fray, lay it down around the edge where you want it then cut down the middle of the tape . I use blue painting scotch tape so it doesnt stick as much and wont ruin the CF when i try and pull up the tape.

    As for laying it down i used z-poxy but that was for an abs hull. Youll definitely want some better/different advice for MG fiberglass hull. Good luck
