Aloha crew,…Has anyone used the colored carbon fiber cloth?
* any color bleed, with wet out?—looking at it for possible fin and paddle options
Aloha, Randy
Guy Nishimura (?) who usd to work at Fiberglass Hawaii in the 80s did several boards using the blue, orange and yellow carbon cloth. I don’t think they bled because the unique weave was so well defined, but that was a while ago. Ben Aipa would know how to get a hold of Guy.
My brother and I have used texallium and it does not bleed. We had use the vac bag to get it to wrap the rails clean. Charlie Price did a board recently with some blue texallium my brother gave him. Maybe he’ll respond to this thread.
We use it for tail patches. No bleed on what we get.

Ill see if I can dig some up.
We dont do it very often. last ones were in The fall last year.
We have gone almost entirely away from carbon tape/ reinforcements in tails.
Mahalo for all the input guys,…we’ll give 'er a go.
