wanna 'carbon fibre' stuff..?

[Slingshot]

Yes, hand laying carbon is the same technique as fibreglassing but the materials are a lot dearer & when learning you will make some rather expensive mistakes

So it might be a better idea to start off with fibreglass and then when I get good at that move onto carbon fibre.

Any idea where to buy the fibre glass stuff from?

Correct, once you can fibreglass PROPERLY, its all in the technique,practise, practise practise,[I got a job in the industry for 2 years before I became proficient at it!!!] then move on to carbon. I buy my supplies from Nuplex, here in CHCH
