R U smart enough to open a winder to vent the resin fumes??? Wouldn't want you to suffer any brain damage & start having delusions of godhood & start droping lightning bolts down peoples shorts.

Do you know where one could buy these kits in the US? Where did you get your fabric?

If you google "epoxy resin" you'll find some of what you're looking for.

This is the ebay vendor I purchaced my C-F fabric from.

Unfortunately, the piece that's about the right size, is the wrong weave (for me)

And the piece that's the right weave (2x2 twill) is too small...

Search ebay, who knows what other vendors might have...

This particular vendor's inventory changes all the time.

Imagine all the sweet stuff you could make with a big enough pile of $$$...
