carbon fiber shortage
anybody hear about this? i just went to put a carbonfiber order in for some custom stuff that i am doing and saw that most fabrics are out of stock due to a world wide shortage. checked several suppliers and got the same at all places. said it was brought on by increased demand in the military and civilian aircraft industry. luckiny i have enough on hand for the project at hand.

Re: carbon fiber shortage
LOL . . . forgot about that stuff . . . most of that chit probably is that fake stuff  . . . . wonder if the shortage has had any affect on the high end builders like MTI, Outerlimits and Skater?
hows the Spectre doing by the way? got arnesons yet?

Re: carbon fiber shortage
cool . . . hey i have a new supplier (michigan fiberglass) and he is going to set me up for infusion on the batboat molds. i have been talking to him all week as i have been getting a bunch of supplies these days, want to get this project behind me and get on with building some boats.
hey heres a little known fact. the term fiberglass with two s's is the generic term and the term fiberglas with one s is the trademarked name used by Owens Corning
