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

I have a giant escape composite left it locked on a fence and someone tried to steal it and damaged the frame by the seat post , cracked the frame so pad the seat post was leaning . I used the sheets and epoxy to repair the frame. I let it dry for a couple days then applied another layer. repeated the process about 4 or 5 times. this happened in 2021 and its 2023 now and the seat post is sitting sturdy in the frame like new. had to write a review excellent product for repairing carbon fiber frame

I've repaired three cracked bike frames with one kit over the last year. Really great product.For those finding it tough to manage fraying when cutting the fabric:1) Tape off the shape you need on the fabric with narrow making tape.2) Cut out the rough piece by splitting the tape, saving more fabric for the next repair, and making it easier to handle the working piece.3) Apply epoxy inside the taped area4) Cut right along the edge of the tape for final shape.It will not fray, and if you handle carefully, will hold shape as you apply. I'd recommend practicing with a small sample.

Pretty straight forward. Simple to use kit. Can get messy. Overall great kit.

The epoxy by itself seems like it is not as strong as others I've used, however still a VERY strong epoxy. Just make sure to rough up the surface and you'll be all set. The epoxy is thin at first so will self-level and leaves a rather nice gloss on its own. The carbon is a bit tricky to use/lay however once you get the hang of it comes out great!. Multipurpose I use it for skis, bikes, wakeboards, and anything that chips, cracks, or peels really. Thickens up in about 45 minutes, dry to touch at 5+ hours, and said to cure in 24-48. One kit has carried me through over 10 small projects. great product, happy customer.

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.

Another victim of the epoxy not setting up and hardening after seven days. I followed their mixing instructions exactly. I’ve been mixing up epoxy for various projects for many years and have never had a problem like this. Ruined my project and left me with a huge, sticky mess. Carbon fabric seemed fine but I’ll never truly know.If you must try this product despite many of us have this same experience, please test it first on something that will be discarded anyway.

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 you've applied it. If you've worked with fiberglass before you'll find that carbon fiber is nearly identical. I used small pieces and took my time in placement of them. I didn't wear gloves and didn't get any of the resin on my fingers. If you let the resin get sticky before you attempt to lay the fiber weave you'll 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!

Used to repair a carbon fiber handle on a croquet mallet. No directions on mixing ratio of epoxy, so did 3:1 which turned out to be wrong. Cracked again. Had to start over using 2:1 ratio. Not familiar, but the weave on the fabric seemed loose. Probably OK of correct epoxy mixture used.
