Carbon fiber

[Buddy Benedict]

I have been searching the web for light weight carbon fiber and the lightest I could find was 4.7 oz/yard. Has anybody found some any lighter? I am looking for some 2 to 2.5 oz/yard to make it easier to lay up.

Thanks,

Buddy

I think this is what your after 3k twill will make it flow into those valleys http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-3K-Twill-200gsm-Real-Carbon-Fiber-Cloth-High-Mod-Fabric-30-width-/272449356029?hash=item3f6f3f40fd:g:VpAAAOSwNRdX983y&vxp=mtr

This ebayer says his carbon is 2.8 oz/sqyd. I haven't used him before so can't vouch for him as a merchant.

The plain weave doesn't drape as easily as twill or satin weaves. I only use 1k when i want a very light part. The 1k stuff is actually more difficult to work with. 4HS has great drapability. The 1k twill is available, but more expensive.
