Thin carbon sheets like 1.4mm is proper bendy and proper strong, I bent a spare bit i had from doing my door cards and I could bend it so the oposit ends were touching each other, you've gotta give some serious stick to break it
You cant .
It wont form from sheet ,it is layered in a mold under pressure to shape .Much like fibreglass .
It's cross layered that's how it gets its strength .
i only really wann put a 90 degree bend in it
i was maybe thinkin a heat gun and a bit of strength???
so ther no way at all id be able to reshape it whithout either snapping it or just wasting my time?
but no reshaping
anyone know of wer i could get this done?
or maybe another material that is light i could do it with???
would acrylic be suitable
Cut it and glue it neatly?
You can get real CF with an adhesive backing from 3M .Apply this to some thin ali or polycarbonate
