Hi everybody - Does anyone know where I can get some carbon fiber “thread?” I tried TAP Plastics, Fiberglass supply, and some other web sites… to no avail. The guy at Fiberglass supply said it’s called “toe,” (as in the weaver toes it??) and the stuff in the unidirectional weaves is “12K” as in 12,000 filaments/thread, 8 threads/inch.
Anyway, if anyone has a heads up to a small spool, I’d be greatfull.
Hey Keith - If you got 70yrds or so let me know, and I’ll PM ya re. details.
For those of you who are interested -
I plan on putting compound curve deck channels on my latest, in liew of a stringer, and I’d like to put carbon fiber in the channel. And, it will lay in the compound curve in the “monofilament” form much easier than in the “unidirectional” form (actually I have to “un” weave it).
found it in the garage! (will miracles never cease?), got 90 yds Hexcel 12k tow on a spool for you, ready to go - just need a mailing address (PM is fine) and a promise that you’ll post pictures when you’re done…no charge.
