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

Only con was application. Other than that...I have tried 3 other products...this one actually works. Still holding up and providing protection.

decent kit for small to medium carbon fiber repairs. instructions provide enough detail to use. will be used on CF racing fuel tank, seems like will work just fine.

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!

Pretty straightforward. Most of what you need to do any small project.

Tried twice. Mixed one capful of each wouldn’t set up. Tried a digital scale in case that wasn’t precise enough. Still didn’t work. Inside 70° low humidity. Followed directions. Mixed for 5 minutes before applying.

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!

This is my first attempt to work with carbon fiber. I broke my bike frame (I fell of a trainer... Long story) so my frame was cracked (sounds like when you are bending wood). After some research, I found that my frame was repairable, but it was expensive ($500 to $800 quotes). After daydreaming with a new bike, I felt like I should give it a try and repair the frame. I love my bike (Fuji SST 1.3) so, I set aside time and begin to sand the area, to discover there was a hole in the frame (see picture), and a crack around the entire tube. Did some research on how to repair the frame, got me some sanding papers (get the 3m 80 if you want to speed up the process) and begin my journey. Word of advice, get some single blade or an Xacto blade-like, scissors are a bad idea as this carbon sheet its very flimsy. I mixed the hardener and resin equally or 1 to 1 (It was a guesstimate). With a 1.5 brush, I start applying the epoxy and 10 minutes later I glue the carbon sheet (keep mixing the expoxy or it will bee to hard), gave it a second top coat and with a plastic bag, I squeeze it all the air and tape the bag very tightly and leave it 24 hours (air-conditioned indoor). Next morning, I unwrapped the repair (see picture of a very corrugated repair) and with an 80 grain, started sanding all that. Then with a 240 started smooth things out until I got rid of the rough edges and it was smooth. Finished up with an 800 (or could be 600) and gave it a light epoxy coat with a 1.5 brush (do not reuse the brush) and there you have it. With less than $50 I repaired a frame that looks good and will serve me well for years to come.

With the help of YouTube videos, it’s fairly easy to use and apply. Generous amount of carbon fiber, enough for at least 2 repairs. I fixed a crack on the top tube of a bike, let it cure 48 hrs, then sanded down. It looks good, waiting to be painted.

This product was perfect for what I needed. A cracked, carbon fiber frame on a mountain bike. Now believe it is stronger than new.

I would like a little more details in how much epoxy to mix for a smaller repair.
