Just wrapped a bunch more sets, which means I have plenty of new scrap samples to give out. Mostly 11oz 2x2 twill, but I have quite a few 20oz 2x2 twill scraps that will get randomly dropped in with some 11oz samples.

just curious but where do you get your carbon from? I work for Hexcel composites.

Depends on the type. I have a few suppliers I order from as well as another one that's local. I think my main supplier uses only Hexcel, so I'd assume that's what the majority of my fabrics are, but I know I have a few rolls that are Toray. I try to stick to the major brands and the higher quality fabrics.

matt, what do you personally like better? the 20oz or 11oz twill?

Nice...

20oz looks better because its a little thicker and a little tighter, but its more difficult to work with and more expensive. Can't really go wrong either though.

Got a bunch of samples ready last night. I cut the samples smaller, so EVERYONE that requested samples will get at least a sample of 11oz 2x2 twill and 20oz 2x2 twill to compare them. Some random people will get additional samples of colored carbon/kevlar hybrid fabrics.
