Carbon Fiber and Fiber Glass

Post by Water Rocket Expert »

Someone please post a link of where to get carbon fiber or fiberglass tubing that will fit perfectly and snugly outside of T-12 FTC. I've just got an idea. Also, can I buy it at home depot in long lenths?

Maybe you need to spend even more time looking.

Nope, that stuff is not close to cheap so I've done my best to stay away from it. I can tell you fiberglass is cheaper but you are still looking at $150 for the epoxy and you'll need to build your own rotissere and curing rack. Not going to be a quick path there.
