How thick a piece should you buy? Here are some guidelines to help you decide.
Choosing a finish can be confusing. We’ll help you narrow down what’s best for your application.
Thin carbon fiber sheets (up to .5mm) can be cut with scissors or a sharp razor knife.
Our gloss finish is beautiful but scratches easily. It’s best for an application that will have limited handling. Or you can protect the finish by applying a clearcoat. (See below.) The satin finish will stand up to significant usage without showing scratches.
The semi-gloss finish is our standard finish for thick pieces that require a durable, smooth finish. The matte finish is reserved for industrial applications that require a textured finish. It is not recommended for cosmetic applications.
