What is the best 2x2 Twill CF Fabric?

General Composites Discussions Products Talk

I talked to Carb.com and they informed me all fabrics are not created equal.

Specifically, I asked about their 3572-50PQ - 3k GPX8 Fiber 2x2 Twill ($23.35/yd) and they said is was complete crap for decorative applications.

They recommended their 3572-50PFQ - PYROFIL 3K FIBER ($33.60/yd). They said this fabric was manufactured from a different process and will look much better for decorative parts.

I’ve looked all over the place and now realize I need to be selective with what I use. What 2x2 Twill CF fabric are you guys using and where are you getting it from?

Thanks!

As far as the fabric that carb.com carries, you’ll need to get the more expensive one. I’ve never ordered from carb before but I did talk to John London and that’s what he also told me. The fabric I use come from a local manufacturer. I’ll get you more info when I get to the shop.

Yeah, I noticed that too from Carb.com. Also, I notice they have “less than roll” pieces, but when I called them last time, they still quoted me the 15$ cut-fee!!! And they advertise as being the cheapest??

Awaiting on an email back from them about that.

I got stuff from uscomposites.com last time.
