^^^ phew - glad its not just me then. Good first name btw
Maybe it comes over that way a little, but personally I'm all for a little more competition in the market.
I also think that suggesting CarbonMods is the standard by which other products be judged is a little misguided (and possibly slightly arrogant) given
the "less than great" finish quality I've seen on two of their products of late. What makes CarbonMods products any better than say
Fluke?

Echida - I notice you mention "tex" in your signature. How do you find working with than stuff? In my experience, it definately doesn't like compound curves and some of the stuff I tried seem almost epoxy repellant!
Texalium is usually used only as the external layer of a fiberglass composite. It's quite trus that's it does not like so much curves etc. but it is OK if you use vacuum bagging. This depends also to the weight of the fabric. What weight have you worked with?
sample photos and prices would be nice!!!

It's not that he doesn't like change, he just doesn't like things being different.
Echidna - I think that the tex I used was about 200gsm. It was quite fine and looks really nice but was a b*gger to wet out. A bit like the really
fine kevlar you can get if you know the type I mean.
Sorry for taking that the wrong way then Echidna - sounds like you have worked hard on it yesterday and must be feeling pretty proud of yourself at
the moment. I see you are just setting up the business really from your signature - didnt see that last night (and i'd had a really long day at
work so wasnt in the greatest mood getting in at 12pm).
So in that case - i'll say good luck with it and lets see the pics once you have pulled it from the mould and finished it off (this weekend?).
Your proposed price is a fair bit cheaper than Carbon Mods so if the quality is there then you will do well i'm sure.
i think its damn good we have someone else trying to privde this type of product, Carbon mods quality is not up to scratch for the money they are
asking in my eyes, and every other Carbon company i come across say they dont try the kit car market as Carbon mods have it covered...as they put
it.
Good on Echinda i say
how is this coming on? any pics yet?
anyone had any contact from Echinda recently?? i have had no joy.....
vacuum resisn infusion isnt the easiest thing to do, looked into it myself, even bought a vacuum pump suited for it.
might be having problems with amount of resisn, places the tubes etc
give him time, sure he will get it right
Good luck with your new products Theo
