I have a 4 by 8 foot sheet of corbon fiber material. It came from a military aviation plant. I was wondering if anyone knows how to work it. Is it like fiberglass or does it need a special resin. I am also interested in selling it, if anybody wants it, make an offer.

I know you have to use a special resin. The fiberglass resin will turn it yellow. Couldn't tell you where to get it though...

And I quote from BCIeclipse:

"First off, it's not recommended to use polyester resin (what comes fiberglass), it won't bond well with the CF. You must use epoxy resin, epoxy resin is also what all fiberglass body kits are made with, it's alot stonger and bonds better. Also, to get the best results, you wouldn't want to "cover" your stock part with the carbon fiber, the epoxy doesn't stick well to plastics or vinyl and will eventually seperate, therefore, you would need to smooth the stock piece to use as a plug, then make a female mold, and THEN you can lay-up the CF IN the female mold to get the semi finished product (pre clear). Other than it seperating, laminating the stock piece isnt a good idea because it involves alot of build up and sanding then clear coat etc.. If you make a good mold thats smooth, it can be done in one process, and clear coated afterwards."

Hope this helps!

fiberglass usually comes in fabric like sheets, if its hardened its not really of any use

Make me an offer, just be reasonable. And to respond to the chryslerkid, it is just a fabric sheet, it hasn't been hardened.
