S&G Carbon Fiber Quick Start Kit

S&G engineering has developed a Quick Start Kit for carbon fiber to allow amateurs to use our knowledge of materials and their imaginations to make quality carbon fiber parts.

We have included a single cut yard of our high quality carbon fiber. It is a 3k 2X2 Twill which has the look many enthusiasts want. The included carbon fiber is not a second or an end, but premium grade carbon fiber seen elsewhere for as high as $50/yard.

S&G has pre-measured the resin for the customer so all the customer has to do is pour bottle A into bottle B. This takes a lot of difficulty out of the lay up process for the first time epoxy user. Two pairs of part A and B are included so the user can do two separate lay ups with this kit or one large one.

Written detailed instructions on how to lay up a part along with suggested ways to manufacture a mold are provided.

The kit includes everything one would need to get started with carbon fiber except for a respirator. We recommend a 3M brand respirator such as this one. Models like it can also be bought locally at stores such as Home Depot.

Contents of the kit are:

  • 1 Yard of 2X2 twill carbon fiber off of a 50 inch wide roll. Over 10 square feet.
  • 750 grams of quality epoxy resin and hardener. That is enough resin to fully saturate the included carbon fiber.
  • Teflon/Wax mold release.
  • 2 Pairs of safety gloves.
  • 2 mixing sticks.
  • 2 epoxy compatible brushes
  • 1 release wedge
  • 1 resin squeegee

Cost: $100 + $20 S/H
Initial Price: $95 + $20 S/H (Additional shipping costs for non continental US customers. Non continental customers will be charged exact shipping rate + $10 handling charge.)

Item is temporarily out of stock due to worldwide carbon fiber shortage. We will be putting together a kit with substitute materials.
