Off cut from a massive carbon fibre panel Ive made, measures approx L 280 x W 215 x T 1mm (inch or so bigger L & W then a Demon Tweeks magazine)

100% genuine single ply carbon fibre twill (single ply as in not bulked out with GRP tissue) and definetly not the usual eBay shÃ*t thats polyester & carbon enfused either! Gloss finished in clear resin. Usual buffed shiny finish on face & dull finish on rear. One or two pin head air bubbles on face but nothing major at all.

£Sold delivered to your door (UK & Ireland only).

Is that floppy or stiff mate?

This is 1mm, quite stiff but not structural type sheet. 0.7mm is very flimsy (read as decorative only IMO)

Can it be heated and bonded onto plastic?

Can be bonded to stuff yes, however heat wont do fook all to it. Once it cools, it'll go to its original size/shape.

The cheap eBay shÃ*t thats polyester "fake" carbon twill layed onto a plastic film can tho. (not talking about the self adhesive tat either, thats another kettle of fish).
