It was delivered on time and what I received as was indicated. The product is weak, carbon fiber is low grade and the resin-hardener. Carbon is very airy, the epoxy at 2 to 1 mix did not form at 70 control degrees for 48 hrs, leaving the project a flimsy useless.

If you are new to working with carbon fiber, here are a few things I’ve learned! This was my first time so I’m sure these are obvious to people who have worked with this material before. First the instruction don’t say it, but remove the yellow string. When you apply the epoxy you want to feather the fiber out as much as possible. Keeping the string on will create weird edges. Apply with a paints brush on small areas at a time, pressing firmly down to make sure the fiber is against the actual surface and not hovering in epoxy. I would try to buy some type of clear film so that you can smooth the surface down while it’s curing. I didn’t and just have a lot of sanding to do, but if you used like cling wrap with painters tape I think you could get a better result! Mark of your area, with the tape, apply the carbon and epoxy, then clickers film over that and smoothhhhh out. It feels strong on my surfboard! We will see!

As other reviewers have noted, there is no way to apply this without the carbon fiber coming apart. The epoxy is also of dubious quality. Overall, stay away - it isnt worth half the listed price.

Ive repaired three cracked bike frames with one kit over the last year. Really great product. For those finding it tough to manage fraying when cutting the fabric: 1) Tape off the shape you need on the fabric with narrow making tape. 2) Cut out the rough piece by splitting the tape, saving more fabric for the next repair, and making it easier to handle the working piece. 3) Apply epoxy inside the taped area 4) Cut right along the edge of the tape for final shape. It will not fray, and if you handle carefully, will hold shape as you apply. Id recommend practicing with a small sample.

Another victim of the epoxy not setting up and hardening after seven days. I followed their mixing instructions exactly. I’ve been mixing up epoxy for various projects for many years and have never had a problem like this. Ruined my project and left me with a huge, sticky mess. Carbon fabric seemed fine but I’ll never truly know. If you must try this product despite many of us have this same experience, please test it first on something that will be discarded anyway.

Easy to use, 1:1 just follow directions. I used it to repair my motorcycle fairing where the headlight housing hole attaches to the fairing as it was cracked. I made the repair on the back side of the fairing so it didn’t matter if it was a smooth job. It stopped the crack from continuing while reinforcing the headlight housing.

it is very good product

I used this product to repair a cracked top tube on my carbon fiber bike. I found, and followed, some videos I found on YouTube on repairing a bike using carbon fiber. I would highly recommend buying some heat shrink wrap to use on the carbon mesh after youve applied it. If youve worked with fiberglass before youll find that carbon fiber is nearly identical. I used small pieces and took my time in placement of them. I didnt wear gloves and didnt get any of the resin on my fingers. If you let the resin get sticky before you attempt to lay the fiber weave youll find that it sticks quite well and stays where you put it (I laid down 3 pieces). After the carbon was laid in place and resin applied, I wrapped the area with plastic, then with duct tape, and, finally, heat shrink wrap. After heat shrinking with a heat gun, I let the material dry for around 30 hours. It set up perfectly and required minimal sanding. I was very pleased with the outcome!
