TRUE COMPOSITES Carbon Fiber Sheet & Epoxy Resin Kit (36 x 6 + 8oz of Epoxy) 2x2 Twill, 3K, 5.7 oz. - Carbon Fiber Fabric, Carbon Fiber Repair Kit, Kit de Lámina de Fibra de Carbono y Resina Epoxi

I got this for my friend and me to practice on it for a big project. So far we had a lot of fun with it.

This product cures well and gives a high gloss finish. Like any carbon fiber it is delicate or susceptible to over manipulation. Therefore for best results lay down the a large section and cut to size while in the mold.

The twill came apart during installation. Kept fraying, very upset, pissed off!

This product worked great for my carbon bike frame repair. I made the repair much thicker than I may have needed, because I am very concerned of the strength of the repair. This product arrived in the mail quickly. The resin was slow to cure and needed nearly two days to fully cure; but this gave me a lot of working time with wrapping the layers of carbon weave and with removal of trapped air bubbles. I suggest using very sharp scissors to cut the carbon weave thats wetted with the resin on pattern marked parchment paper; or else it will fray apart on you. I practiced on a broken carbon fishing pole before doing my bike. The bond strength and repair strength was excellent on my fishing pole test piece. The bike frame repair is holding up well so far with 300 miles of rough LA roads and my 230 lbs weight.

Exactly as advertised

I received an incomplete kit. The kit I received did not have any carbon fiber in it. I would not recommend this product at all.

I mixed the resin - hardener as instructed one to one- the resin never kicked off - remained tacky - created quite the mess for the piece Im working on not sure how to resolve the issues going to be a nightmare ! Kit is not worth the money I spent on it

Looks easy to use

Great product and customer service. Will definitely order their products again!

I used these materials to repair the seat stay on my wifes Trek. The package contains enough carbon fiber for a very large number of small repairs like this plus some 2 part epoxy, probably enough for 4-5 such repairs. I used a two stage process, applying the 1st layer, letting it dry overnight, lightly sanding the first layer, then applying the 2nd layer. A critical success factor is using heat-shrink release tape to compress each layer. This is a must do part of the process. Lay up the wet material and immediately wrap the tape tightly around the repair and shrink the tape with a heat gun on low. (Wrap with the outer side of the tape on the repair, opposite of how you would usually use tape, because the PTFE side is out.) This tightly compresses the material, aiding in mechanical adhesion and creating a relatively smooth surface that only requires light sanding. I found 100 yds of Hi-Shrink Release Coated tape for about $28 delivered. So now I have enough tape and carbon for about 75 more repairs :-) Remains to be seen how the repair will hold up over time and under stress, but for now everything looks great and seems to be strong.
