A very good read about the differences in carbon fiber products, both in quality and weight savings...
Which leads me to a question...
When I begin the process of making carbon fiber products (many are in the works now), how would you like me to proceed?
Obviously, the polyester resin and fiberglass would be MUCH cheaper, as I have been pricing and polyester resin is $8/qt where Epoxy Resin is $34/quart...
With supplies costing more, the overall product would cost more. Since most people seem to be more worried with looks than the performance weight-loss, I figured that it would be fine in most applications to just use a few layers of fiberglass and then finish it off with carbon fiber for the appearance but without a real difference in weight...
Would anyone here pay for the true carbon fiber products, or do they want synthetic/"knock off" carbon fiber for cheaper?
