I've never worked with Carbon Fiber before but would like to take a shot at it where can I find some good info??

 

I am not quite sure to look for this but if you are talking about carbon fiber that is also used on mountain bikes ie. trek bikes.
I believe they get the stregth and durabilty by compressing the carbon fiber. I don't think carbon fiber works like fiberglass. I dobn't think they have the same construction techniques. I know trek uses carbon fiber in there bikes they get the strength by compressing then curing at a certain tempature. What are you attemping to make?

Here's one of the many topics off the car audio board. https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=226130

Basically from what I understand CF is like fiberglass except it costs a lot more for the mats, it's stronger, stiffer, and harder to cut. Might try checking out www.fbodyaudio.com I think they have a topics on carbonfiber also.

I would recommend trying out fiberglass if you haven't already. Why? cause for 15 to 20 bucks you can get everything you need from walmart or a car parts store to do a few little projects and see if you like it.

 

TRY www.aircraft-spruce.com they have a helpful hints in their catalog and materials are all available through them. There are ways to do carbon fiber without the pre-peg and oven. Son took course in composites for ME degree and there are many thing out there for the home builder. Les

 

smiller26 knows how to work the stuff

 

Go to www.fibreglast.com. They have a five VHS set that goes for $99.95 and shows you how to work with fiberglass. Working with carbon fiber is no different. Good luck!
