Title: For those who like to fab
Post by: rodsterh on May 18, 2010, 11:53:27 AM
Anyone who likes to build custom stuff (watchdevil) ;), you might find this interesting.  Not inexpensive but looks like a neat way to do some custom work.

Custom Composite Parts
HyperFiber is the revolutionary, time saving, material that allows you to make your own custom composite parts in minutes. No more mixing high odor resins hoping to get exactly the right ratio, trying to get just the right amount of resin on your material, or wasting resin that sets up in the can or drips off on the work surface. HyperFiber has fiber and resin combined with a dry film on each side for the perfect ratio of material and resin EVERY TIME. Simply cut and form HyperFiber in its uncured state to your desired shape inside, out of the sun. Your work time is nearly unlimited! No longer are you working against the clock to try to get everything done before your part sets up. Once you are finished, simply expose the piece to sunlight or a Percy’s UV light source and the HyperFiber will set up in a matter of minutes! With the material used in HyperFiber, you are also able to form it around the most complex curves and angles without having wrinkles or needing to cut the material.

21 inches by 21 feet for $271.00. That's a lot of material. probably worth it if you do alot of that stuff.

12" x 21' -- $271

or

12" x 5' for a mere $83  :hick:

Or we could a group buy of the 21' roll and it would only cost $13* for a 12"x12" piece.

Not a bad price for a gauge pod or something small like that.
